Weather report... boring. And the Perfect Man!!

[curiouswombat]

The great snowstorms sweeping across the British Isles have swept across the bottom half of the small island - blown by steady 35mph winds. It began to snow at 9am. It snowed almost constantly until 5pm - and not a single flake has stuck below about 1,000ft. I am really quite disappointed as I am a bit of a big kid when it snows - at least for

I feel for farmers like Inzilbeth when the wintry weather gets mean.

[curiouswombat]

I'm not sure which is worst - snow or rain, when the rain is as heavy as its been.

[inzilbeth_liz]

My one consolation through all the rain was that at least it wasn't snow!

Fancy knowing the perfect man! I always believed he could only be found in my favourite book!

I'm grateful that we're having a normal winter this year - snow, but not too much (relatively speaking) and very cold temps (which just requires bundling up).

Love the Manx man interview - so fun!

Here it is pretty cold for us - we rarely get into double figures during the winter, but rarely below zero either - like you it is a pretty ordinary winter so far.

And yes - the perfect man is a 50 year old from Ramsey! Who'd have guessed?

Umm... It's nice to see that so many women are looking for someone pretty ordinary (on the better educated, higher incomed, more athletic side of ordinary, that is), but -- personally -- I'd prefer someone more quirky! My ex husband used to temper carving tools in the sitting room fire and weld machinery in the kitchen. I miss that!

BTW, a while ago, you sent me a link to a Legolas/Eowyn story, but I've lost it. Do you remember where it was?

Hmm - I think your ideal male might be right there in my icon...

As for the story link - hmm - I think I've passed a few on over the past few years - was it by any chance this one?

I think that might have been the most recent. I can also remember passing this one on to you at some time too.

Thorin :-)

Or Kili. (You'd probably get Fili thrown in for free).

It was the first link -- thanks! I'm updating the list at my website, and realised I'd never added that one.

No snow here either, but some great pics Liz (my daughter-in-law) posted of Bristol!

See icon ...

[curiouswombat]

Oh - pretty!

S2C says it is still snowing here - he says it is even trying to stick now - I guess it is colder than it was earlier.

...And to think you knew the perfect man. *g*

[curiouswombat]

I vaguely remember that there were two or three small boys - who all seemed perfectly reasonable small boys - but clearly his outstanding qualities had not been fully honed at that point! :)

By the way it is lovely to see you - I was just thinking a couple of days ago that I hadn't seen you here for a little while, and was hoping it was because you were doing something nice.

[estelcontar1]

It's lovely to be back. I wish I were doing something nice, but a few days before Christmas, mom, who is 90 going on 91, caught pneumonia, and since she suffers from chronic atrial fibrillation, due to an ASD which was only corrected when she was past 84, everything went haywire. She was hospitalized for 19 at a cardiac intensive care unity, 7 of which she was sedated and on a ventilator. She's been home now for around 2 weeks, and is almost her old self again.

So, believe me, I'm very happy to be back.

[curiouswombat]

Oh dear - no wonder you've been missing. I am really pleased to hear that she is home and back to herself. Give her a hug from me - even though she doubtless has no idea at all who I am!
