The Hornet's Nest

How quiet is quiet? The Nest is so quiet I can hear fish talking.

 

Why have you got fish in your nest - did the bear bring them in ?

 

Bjork is singing in the dancing thread!

 

Morning all.

Still bitterly cold here with a big dump of snow overnight. They even had snow in Auckland for the first time in 50 years.
We are all right. We lost water for a few hours yesterday but have plenty in our emergency store. The power has stayed on so far for us (though not for everyone). The people I feel for are those with holes in their houses as a result of the earthquakes. It can't be easy to keep a place warm when -5C winds are blowing through.

Imagine you are the West Ham defence. You are facing the storm of the Watford attack and you know there are gaps that you keep having to cover but as soon as you cover one another opens up. You have to do this in the face of the icy chill of your supporters. When it's all over you will decide to up sticks and transfer somewhere, anywherr, else.

 

Hi NZ - enjoy the snow - they just said on our news that Wellington had snow for first time in 40 years too

 

yes indeedy! COYH!

I'm here H. Haven't asked yet, how was the States? Did you have fun?

 

Leon I do not, it is an expression for quiet.

Today is strange there is few posts on any of the Watford threads.

 

That was weird, my connection went most peculiar!

Thanks Suffolk, i had a fantastic trip, it was great fun, lots of laughs and met loads of fun people. It was hard to come home!

 

it was like this yesterday too Ak...maybe it's the holidays...

 

i need a coffee, anyone else want one while i'm up?

 

Hi guys had an interesting day , any malt whiskey drinkers among you, I can heartily recommend the Aberlour malt ! So smooth , with a lovely glowing aftertaste! Hope you guys and gals are fine , have to pack me bags , before tomorrows trip home ! Its been a lovely stress relieving break and I didnt realise how much I needed it ! Met a fantastic woman today that was born and met the author of Peter Pan she is 84 lives on her own you have a hard walk up a hill to get to her house , she shuns electrical items and has lived on bread ad cheese and whiskey!!! God bless Edith ,you leave her house feeling tremendously uplifted! she writes books ,and is going blind ,to counter that she is learning Braille! I have never met such a can do person ,it brought everything into perspective for me!

 

Yep H I'll join you in a coffee

 

coolio...i was just getting a fresh cup!

 

she sounds like a fascinating woman Norway!

 

I have been lucky enough in my time to meet 3 of the loveliest women in the world ! One was Edith today , One was a lady called Val in oxfordshire in a village called woodcote (I think!!) and your good self !! all three leave you with a warm and upbeat attitude! All three have taken on major challenges and succeeded! Tis surely hats off time!

 

aw hon, that's way too much praise, but thank you! Are you still all whiskied up?

 

How did you guess babe? but I meant what I said

 

Coffee for anyone who wants, there is a malt drink in with them but not whiskey.
