You definitely need a break, itsa. Fly off to a beautiful spot with lots of chocolate for a week or two. I agree !

No wonder the walk to work this morning was so unpleasant. That wind I was facing made the temperature -47C.

Thank you for uttering that, HT.^ I was stunned speechless (a rare occurrence, I know) but my mind was trying to process WTF kind of freaky numbskull WALKS to work in minus -47C/-52F weather. The only 'thing' that could do that without health hazards would possibly be a zombie. Been shaking my head for hours over that post.

off to organize our huge charity auction. I will be dead and in serious pain in 12 hours, but with any luck we will have raised a shitload of money ( and it will be interesting if this turns out "poopload of money")

Well, this freaky numbskull didn't check the temperature before heading out! Lesson learned!
It was only -35C when I wasn't facing the wind, so it was only the last 150 yards or so that was awful. I turned around and walked backwards to avoid the wind, for a while. The problem was not having enough head cover - just my parka hood, which lets in way too much wind. If I'd had a hoodie or tuque on, it wouldn't have been so bad.

After reading Scrubb's account of her weather, I am very glad to be living in Victoria. When are you moving here. Scrubb?

only -35C when I wasn't facing the wind, so it was only the last 150 yards or so that was awful. And with each post, she proves to us lower forty folks that she IS a zombie. No human would EVER say only - 38C.Pretty little zombie, tho.

Scrubb, I'm so impressed by you and your ability to shrug off the cold weather that I've not only posted about it on FB but I've told almost everyone I know. Truly boggles my pathetic, little mind and throws my body/mind into irrational shivers.

Why didn't I put the light on when I popped my sandals on before my trip. Went to a poncy restaurant in old sandals covered in streaks of blue paint with white overlays.

Today's happy event was the annual largest kid tournament in the world. This year over 110 kids from 3-15, and then 16 more from 16-20. HUGE success! whew. now just one more to go - tomorrow we are doing an international tournament - 4 teams of 8-12 year-olds : America, Argentina, the( 2 Argies and 2 Merkins ) - and my bet is that they will win!

Had our breakfast under the lemon trees. Fatima joined us. She turned up her beak at a bit of my almond pastry and went and ate some geranium leaves instead. Ain't chickens weird?

Until yesterday there was a very nice large old walnut tree in our community garden. Now it is gone I guess there will be less visitors like different kind of woodpeckers, my squirrels, and so on.... I'm not really happy about it. By law another tree has to be planted. I'm curious what kind this will be. In the mean time i will plant a hazelnut bush in my garden

That's sad. Who and why was it cut down, Wiki? Hope your little visitors will still come by to keep you company.

That sucks, wikki. Was there a good reason to cut the tree down or was it simply not desired by whoever did it? My RTOTM: I had thought I could use my mod role on here to demonstrate IT proficiency when responding to selection criteria for jobs or mention it to show my interest in travel and other cultures etc (I know we talk about alot of other stuff but getting global opinions on it all ) but then I realised that someone might ask for the web address and my secret identity will be discovered. I'll have to come up with something else!
