@Albert1434, I will bring what I make every month as long as you pay my bills that month and my grocery bill too just to get some peanut brittle! 🤣

And she'll probably expect you to pay for the gas she'll need for the drive there and back, as well, Albert...

Maybe you could count sheep like the rest of us, instead of counting digits of Pi.

And there he was. Hassling me last week about needing at least 8 hours of sleep a night....

As God-Emperor, the laws don't apply to me.

He had to deal with those imperial matters that arose unexpectedly.

The house smells like cookies. We baked chocolate thumbprints and peanut butter cup cookies. We've completed 13 of the 25 types on our list.

God, I love that stuff.

My sister just texted me that she will be going to her son's home out of town Thursday. They are inducing his wife's labor Thursday evening due to her blood pressure. Say a prayer for them!

G'day y'all. It's cold. Dropped to freezing just before 6am. I'm about to begin making peanut brittle.

It's cold here too.  And still snowing, but we only got a couple of inches, thank goodness.

Cold here too. Sky is all white though snow isn't supposed to be in the forecast

Cold here, too. But still reasonably dry (just the odd light shower). Currently 6°C/43°F, but real feel only 1/34 due to fairly strong breeze.

Met Éireann, however, are predicting a significant change in our weather pattern this week with a cold polar maritime airmass sweeping across the country, and the possibility of the first snowfall of the winter.

Quote

The change in weather is being caused by the amplification of the polar jetstream over the North Atlantic which is aiding the development of a blocking high pressure system which will extend from the Azores to Greenland. This will enable polar air flood southwards towards Ireland and northwestern Europe. However, as this cold air moves over the relatively warm seas of the North Atlantic, the depth of cold will be modified resulting in a wintry mix with snowfall mainly restricted to high ground, but with some snowfall to lower levels possible at times later this week.

I'm expecting that this will spell the death of this year's nasturtium flowers. But, to be honest, it's unusual that they manage to survive into December.

Dear Marty,  please, pretty please,  keep your shitty weather to yourself. Kind regards, your downstair neighbor, Clo.

Also I had trouble reading the word in  bold, something else kept coming to my mind

That almost sounded like Dear Santa letter the way it started.

My Dearest Clo,

Many thanks for your recent letter. However, I am sorry to inform you that I have absolutely no control over the weather. Perhaps your plea might be better made to your little brother, Drew. I've heard that he claims to have godlike powers.

Stay safe, my friend.

Kind regards,

Marty

It's stopped snowing here, and it's sunny. We got a few inches, but it's really pretty on the trees. Morning, Val.
