With what we got this morning, we're a little over 100" for the season.  Our seasonal average is 94".

 Hi Thorn, writing is very good.. In my notebook I found a handwritten 5 pages of notes for a story that was about 4 boys and a private yacht...The yacht was 175 feet with a pool and the boys weren't related. I think my uncle and I were jointly writing it...

Sounds like a fun story.

Yea, it means "hello" (literal translation: "God with you" - there's no real Irish word for hello (and none for yes or no either)

Ooh, do you speak it? I have a story I’m working on, historical drama, where one of the characters is an Irish monk. He speaks it a few times early in the story. I got the lines translated with help from some folks on a website I found ages ago, but I can’t find the site again, and I was considering adding some more...

I have to admit that I am not fluent in it. But I have a few friends who are, should you need help.

 

[EDIT] Alternatively, Google Translate usually does a reasonable job.

Yeah, I used that before I found that website. There were a few corrections that needed to be made. Funny thing is, I didn’t work on the story for a while, and when I returned to it I realised I hadn’t written down the English versions of the lines anywhere. I knew from context roughly what they were meant to say, but I ended up using google translate to translate them back into English so I’d know what they actually meant, lol!

175 feet? That's like, this:

 

USCG Joshua Appleby. 175 feet long. By my reckoning, a sailing vessel of the same length would have 2 - 3 masts. You'd need more than four people to pilot a ship like that. Just saying.

What is rugbrod med leverpostei? 

 

Danish ryebread with Danish paté - see the pictures in the link. Similar to the picture Bucket posted (except that was chicken liver paté and we use pork). The slice of pickled beetroot is also common in Denmark.

G'day y'all. I am so looking forward to my trip to Philly. This will be the third year in a row that my late winter trip coincided with a winter storm.

I used to post to a place called FictionPress, a spin-off I guess you could call it from FanFiction.Net because so many people were using the original fiction section. Most other sites I came across before I found this one were so focused on erotica, and at the time I was, like, fourteen, lol!

We do pretty good paté in the rest of Scandinavia as well. The style varies a bit from country to country, but the Norwegian ones (aside from the cheap kid one that comes in a can) are pretty similar to the Danish. I actually tend to put lingonberry jam on mine, a trick we actually learned from a Danish family friend. She served us paté straight from the oven, on freshly baked bread, with lingonberry jam on top. So good!

Hi, Dugh!  Sorry about the weather, but I hope you have a nice trip all the same!  

 

Morning, everyone! Today is a better day than yesterday.

Hi, Albert!  

[Albert1434]

Aloha Thorn how is your day going

[clochette]

Good day all.

Another bright and warm day here with a high at 17℃ earlier this afternoon. 

I went to the artificial lake/nautical base to clear my head. I walked around it for over an hour and now waiting on a bench with the last of the afternoon sun warning my back to have a chat with my brother.
