Reminds me of a silly joke I heard when I was a kid...

If you cut a glow worm's tail off, would it be de-lighted?

It's also dry here at the moment. But that probably won't last too long...

Not here.  It's been raining all day and it's supposed to turn to snow at some point overnight.  Then a mixture of rain/snow for the next couple of days, including lake effect.  Thankfully it's supposed to shift south.

Raining here too, and I saw a few big flakes.

About seven years ago I took the following photograph of a disused railway station about 25 miles (40 kilometres) away from where I live.

Every time I look at it, the following song comes into my head

Love the photograph and the song

So apologies in advance if I'm a bit quiet for the next few days.

(Although some of you may be quietly celebrating that fact.)

As long as we get your weekly monochrome photo on Friday   *runs and hides*

I am suffering a bit. We had a turn in the weather. A gift of cold air from Canada is pushing through. 

Well, Dughlas! I think you also sent the cold weather to Texas cause it was freezing this morning! I mean, the temp was below freezing! Thank you very much! BRRRRRRRR! Take it back! lol

[Sherye Story Reader]

On the bright side, though! I am now finally a legal driver again! My driver's license got renewed today! And the people in the town where I went are a lot nicer than the people in my hometown where I live. There is a lot of complaints in reviews on the DMV office in my hometown!

Just don't shift it too far south. Seriously, the forecast has the low Wed morning at freezing. Coldest it's been here since March.

Only ever had peanut soup once. It was back in 1982. My wife and I had gone to Williamsburg for our one year anniversary. We ate at the Kings Arms tavern one evening and had the soup. Was not fond of it.

Tonight I made mum and I a mushroom ragu over whole wheat rotini and a salad.

Yesterday was technically our 40th wedding anniversary but we've been separated since 2000 just never divorced.

My brother came over and asked me to buzz his hair and then we had pizza. It had been a while and it was so good

[dughlas]

Buzzing his hair, the pizza or just hanging out?

As a matter of fact, I was watching a food show that mentioned the Kings Arms, and that's what turned me on to the recipe.

The pizza was tasty, I had one with ham, lardons, merguez and chorizo. Yum!

It was nice to spend some time as a family.

And it's always satisfying to buzz his hair as I know he only ask when he's desperate and I can annoy him, threatening to leave him with a mohawk or just a curly fringe like in the 90'

I assume you're referring to the pizza when you say it was so good...

 I don't have some kind of kink with my brother's hair eww

Well it's ten after midnight as I start to type this...

It's been  busy night, and going to be a busy day tomorrow.

Think I'll head to bed in an attempt to recharge the old brain cells.
