    Good evening all, it's 1800 hours here, the sun's been out almost all afternoon, and it's still shining on my mountain across the fjord. We've had about 8 deg C/46 deg F in the shade today, and nearly no wind. I can hardly believe it. My thoughts are with all those who experience truly bad weather.

    Good Evening All. It has been a beautiful day here with a high of 57 degrees F. I have been at work all day, and worked through lunch just to get home a little early. It is 6:13 PM. I am a little blue this evening, and can't seem to shake it. Well, maybe a good night's rest will help things. Have a blessed one.

    Good evening, it's 18.10 now, and I've been outside in the cold with the horses for most of the day. We had -10 deg C/14 deg F during the night, and the riding house floor was frozen. :( It's been snowing again, about 4 inches/ 10 cm of light powder. I need to find my start-button and get going. We're celebrating my mother's 66th birthday tomorrow and the house looks like somebody let a hurricane loose in here.

    Be careful about getting chilled, Droopy. What time is the celebration? I would thaw out, and rest a little first. It is almost 2:00 PM on Sat here, and the sunny . . . and there you are coming in from a busy day . . . Happy B-Day to your mom . . . let us know how it goes.

    I dress well, SoJ, wool underwear, down vest, fleece hat, gloves and a thermo overall to top everything off. I still get chilled after three-four hours, though. Dinner is at 16.00 so I'll probably just have time to change clothes. My husband's responsible for dinner. Turkey. Yummy!

    Wow, what a busy couple of days here. Cleaning and baking. Its only just immediate family coming for Easter but still I like to have a very clean house.
    My 9 yr old went to a egg hunt this morning and won a big stuffed yellow duck. Eggs are colored amd ham is ready for the oven in the morning. Now just to get the basket of goodies ready.
    whew, what a long day.

    The ham sounds delicious, Petunia. Congrats to your 9 year old on the prize. Happy Easter!

    A very good evening to you all. This has been such a busy weekend that it almost seemed unreal. IS it possible that a house needs sooo much cleaning?

    Hope everyone had a lovely Easter celebration.
    Many happy returns for your mom Droopy - she still a young one and I trust young at heart and healthy.

    Good evening all, it's been a weird day in this town. A block of flats got hit by a huge piece of mountain, moved forward 7-10 meters, and fires started. People were evacuated from the flats, but five are missing, presumed dead now. It's still burning, and they worry about the whole thing collapsing now.

    It's been a lovely winter day here, with snow, sunshine and +2 deg C/36 deg F.

    Good evening everyone.

    I had one very busy day - I did not even get to do all my usuals like running, or swimming. I got some goodies together to build up my new pc.
    I am sooo excited.
    I can hardly wait - Actually I am a bit silly as they did not even have the processor or the chasis, for that matter, that I wanted in stock and I still have to wait, but I have the RAM, the Keybord and Mouse, the Powersupply sofar,
    Gosh I am like a kiddie - I want to build my own pc. :-D

    I am being truly silly -
    :oops:
    we still have temperatures climbing up to 28 Degrees C. But one can definitely see that the air cools down a lot quicker in the evenings.
    THat is certainly not nice - poor people - that is a massive slide - 4 to 10 meters - and all the accompanying horror.
