@Halfy Bryant Park looks a really cool place to hang out it looks Christmassy snowy weather

@Chris phew! 40 degrees is no joke I keep forgetting its Summer for you.

@Lance nobody has bothered much with lights here, its raining and miserable anyway.

@Ally Happy Christmas

Only managed to get out to one of our local streets that does Christmas lights like this. There was another I wanted to get but didn't get the chance.

It's always nice when neighbors work together to string lights across the street. Every city has one or two special streets like that where everyone comes to visit.

Got to 40.4 today. Hottest Xmas day for 13yrs. Lovely

Yes I have air-con. Set at 23 degrees.

I have central heating set to 18°c.

I'd say both are 2 degrees too cool for the circumstances.

My air-con is set to 23 degrees in the Summer as well. It gets to 38 outside so 23 inside is a comfortable temperature, if its put on lower than 23 you can get a nasty chill because of acclimatisation being too extreme.

Same to you, you ruddy Scotshobbit!  

I prefer 25 in summer, 20 in winter. But I don't have central air so I mainly just let it swing until it annoys me then do something about it.

got enough of that here. But I suppose Australians would associate christmas with warm rain.

Hello all, How are you ? Ive missed you all ! I hope you all had a great Christmas & I wish you all a happy new year ! Id like to say I was captured by a dashing handsome sheik, installed in his gaily coloured tent & fed Turkish delight till I burst but...no.


I didnt go log rolling, which is a shame as the scenery would have been great..


No, My internet & landline went down well & truly. Cut off from all & sundry, no contact with the world around me, bereft of human contact, not seeing a Goddam soul, no chit chat, no fuck all !!! But....Im here

{{{ I was wondering where youd got to Az! Good to see you back and all well. }}

What? I could have sworn I'd seen you around the last month, Az, but I see your last post was the end of November? No...I'm SURE I saw you post more recently than that!

Hello Halfy I think my last post might have been on the 20th ? But come the 22nd I was cut orrrrf in my prime. Some scaly wart of a workman operating for another neighbour nauzed up the connection box outside that held the cables.

glad you are back Azriel

Yeah, I see you on Dec 20 but the statistics page said Nov 28.

Edit: Aha, "last topic" was nov 28, so I assume you started some new thread then.

Awh thank you Figgles Im very happy to be back here !!

If cut off from internet and people for so long I'd be frustrated at first, then throw myself into reading, possibly writing projects.

Um, minor point.  The USA toppled under the hands of extremists while you were gone.  I suppose you won't miss it much.

Meanwhile, Dave's up and disappeared again. Hopefully he can follow the same advice as before to fix things up.

Whenever anyone disappears I hope they havent contracted the virus.  Until you hear from them it becomes a worry.
These cheered me up today as I was walking my hairy hound





Sorry for the blur, my battery was conking out..

Lovely

Ahh, that is nice to see, Azzie! We've had a good while with winter wonderland snow, which hung on tree branches and gave good conditions for play and fun. Now there's thick ice on the road outside our house and all the way down to the main road, and the snow is not hard enough to carry you but much too hard for sleding. Still, I find it hard to complain. I don't have to go anywhere ( as Iam still laid off from work*) and here's picture I took today. We could have been stuck in a small apartment in a city with full lockdown and home schooling.



*laid off at work? Don't know the correct wording here. Anyhow, not expecting to get back to work untill March, maybe. Could have done a lot at home, but is mainly doing as little as possible.
