@Rick A: since I'm the next one to mishandle your camera, I just wanted to make shure this is still the theme?

Yer nuts, I haven't even started thinking about 10 yet.

Let's see, one of them has to be a selfie... So I gotta wash the bathroom mirror, make sure the toilet's flushed, and remove any incriminating objects from the counter. Got it.

I wasn't home today so I missed the mailman. He left a note saying he wanted to drop off something from Ireland and I can collect it at the post office tomorrow ....

Could it be, could it ?????

It made it over the North Sea! Or maybe under it in the "chunnel"?

Do European postal carriers have a creed?

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.."

It could... It could....

Because strangely I had an email from "An Post" to say that there was no one at home to accept my parcel but that they had left a note saying it could be collected in the post office... Coincidence?

I think not........

I collected it at the post office and it was!
Now I'm off to study the manual so I'll be able two make two photos in 3 weeks time or so

Hmm, this quote looks like from Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal", isn't it ?

Great News, Bert !

Please take your time, for now I have to pressure my brain to found a good photo subject for my round

My subconscious is trying to figure out that one too, whilst waiting for some nice weather ...

I'm something like this on the inside:



and like this on the outside:

We had -24f again this morning, wind chill to -45. Last Monday it was -34 at my cousin's house just outside town. Our high predicted for today--a balmy +5f.

It's almost 50f in Denver now, but it might snow a foot or so over the weekend, or it might just be several inches. The weather people don't know

I prefer snow, at least the temps stay above 0 when it's falling, plus I get payed good money to run my snow blower to clean every ones side walks.

It keeps raining, about 1 Celsius (almost freezing). In short: gloomy weather and the Travelcam still refuses to step outside.

I don't blame it, I don't want to go outside either.

Ahh... Africa. It never goes below +50F in this part of the world. There again, one does have to deal with 95% humidity much of the time.

I hope you all stay safe and reasonably comfortable in the cold.

A good day to stay inside and listen to "Selling England by the Pound" again while enjoying a (there was a url link here which no longer exists).
I especially love the piano solo (intro) and the part starting with a flute solo (3:30) in "Firth of Fifth".
