hi Drum, going great up here in the rocky moutain command center. super busy with work, not home much, yet the lawn has managed to stay green. tons of forest fires all around us so our valley is full of smoke

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l141/lochsa9/1176313_716076808407547_1250326548_n.jpg

this is my town with the closest fire, about a week ago. theres still 900 fire fighters on it. other then that, i've just been chasing girls and kayaking waterfalls. whats new on your side of the pond?

Thanks for sending the rain, drum, garden really needed it. Fixed water tank to front drain-pipe, found out later that our late neighbour had fixed the waste from his washing-machine to our drain-pipe. Soapy potatoes. Jessy and S. over here this evening, Jessy first time for 6 months...

Wanting to get bathroom done but costs are too high 7k quid. So might just get floor done and the rest will have to wait. Floortiles already ordered, composite 400 x 400 mm. The rest will look a little funny though.

Hope Tom's taking care of himself? Got those flours planted yet? We're inscribing for a rural garden to grow weed(s) and other vegetables. Take 3 years wait on average. 

Greets from yg. She's 4 years married now and doing fine. 

Someone calling for tea... bbl.

Rural garden ?, you mean an allotment. Got a few spare up road from me. Or visit lochsa (see above), gonna be lots of cleared land there. Toms still hanging about near grave, if he moves away he sits staring in that direction ?. Funny he's always chatted silently, but now is quite vocal. Some planted. Tomato plants over six foot full of fruit. Ended up with over 50 lbs of red and blackcurrents, wine production has started !. Loaded airgun in shed waiting for squirrel that stole all hazelnuts off bush. If you go back a few frames on lochsa's photostream theres an amazing waterfall, where is that loshsa ?. Just made egg mayo, got bit of silverside sitting in half bottle of red, thats for tonight. best to all. drum

Hazelnuts??... now thats something for Saturday or sooner if I can find time. Huge unattended supply nearby. The local immigrants have no idea what they are. Yeah allotment. Someones dad found 5k to help out. I live on the poor side. Took down old chesnut in the street today, sorry sight.

Contractor one of my projects went bankrupt today, gonna be a pain in the @$$. Tight deadlines and 3 months paying conditions.. ugh. Got a new task in The Hague again... monument renovation then national office residing there... gonna be interesting.

What you gonna do with all those tomatos? Any wanting local politicians? BX back to garage for repairs... gonna be akward to find the cause, running out of options. Sherlock should have run a garage.

Best passed on...

Dont repair the car.......Repair the so-called engineer !!.  Politicians (except senior ones) keep clear of me. Drum

Pub grub today? Providing pumpkin soup here... Car up and running. T's got something for you that will arrive soon if the RM permits :) Had all kids over here yesterday bar the musical one. Greets from Jessie.

Walltiles in, next the floortiles, then the guys who make a mess in the bathroom (not me). 

Big day tomorrow, next round of staff cuts... in worst case expect mike in SSC soon... I'm a good carpenter. Wasn't that wot Joseph said before the inkling? Nah I'm being daft. Probably those Grolsch Kanons. Don't let T see your google results !!! 

Thinking solar-panels.

Greets from Jensy... he's over to Ukraine to collect the gal of his digital dreams.  Did you get those plants potted? Or those pots planted which ever way?

Did'nt get to pub, was picking 25lbs of elderberries by Royal Canal, now cooling in mash pan. Got couple pounds of hops as well. Had to clear a bench !!, Got 8 demijohns on the go so far, that should be 48 bottles of plonk. Jens plus girl !, hope she plays snooker. Solar panels coming down in price, but be careful with some of cheap ones. the life can be ten years shorter. German spec panels are good. Tents still here if you end up on the street !. Thomas has finally left graveside. Best to all. drum

Was it my turn again? Afternoon off, "gawn awf", not much to do at the office. Just completed a Q&A for a consortium to do 60 million euro bid to restaurate and modify one of our ministeries. Have to write the report next week. And looks like I'm being drafted to inspection duties at local Tata steelworks.

Jensys gal's going to Sweden for Xmas.. i didn't know they celebrate that in Ukraine. And Xmas is 5 January in Russia, yg's birthday. First snow in Sweden today.

Took S to a gig in Utrecht on Wednesday... Wire.. 3 out of 4 original 1977-ers. Grown-up public. Next year maybe take him to Grandaddy.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5DsI_eCK7Y 

How's the welsh side, any progress? Wishing for the best.

S staying here temporarily, employment and lodgings are not going his way just yet, and we have a few spare rooms. Nest still in the tree.

Bathroom going soon. 3 weeks work... gonna stink like a skunk. I'll check out the shower at work. Greets from T. Mike.   

Wellingtons....

At home today... no bathroom, contractor pretending to do new shower right on schedule. Working at home now, stinking, writing report for tha Ministry. S moved house on Sunday... happy in 3 by 3 with some fellow mutants. Beats me. Work is running out and it's raining as usual. I thought you needed water? Can't you keep it over there please? 

Going to market soon, get some flatfish and some leaks...and maybe catch some me a salmon in a slalom.

....

Errrmm, it's tomorrow!! Visited the ministry building this morning just to taste the plaster. And just chatted mit YG for half an hour :) And greets from evoo too.

Curry time?

Mike.

Nope, not curry, Polish Champigion Soup. Was big operation, heading up there again tomorrow, 250 miles in 3 hours, great improvement on the five and a half it used to take. So I can freak out in the American Diner at Euston for breakfast !. Leaks?, i'm fibreglassing some at the moment, sticky fingers. Wots wrong with hosepipe in garden??. Got invasion of big furry rats in road, burrows everywhere, Toms decided he's to old to chase them, concentrates on attacking dogs. Going up road in mo, rat trap and a mole trap to put in the burrow, oiled up one pistol, trying to find other (yeh,its in that workshop,somewhere?). Rats round here have created sorta new species, comes from living in the cliffs, they look like large fluffy guinea pigs, with long furry tail. Wondering about dropping a smoke bomb down hole?. Say allo to all for me. drum

Have i been neglecting this thread? Sure have!!! Finally after 3 weeks shower time... contractor done. Ugh. They won't be able to enjoy the smell at work any more. Cliff rats sound exciting... wouldn't stand much chance against our jackdaws though. How's Tom? Getting garden ready for 3 ft of snow? Car needs extensive repairs... too much for regular garage so i have an unemployed friend working on it.. he officially no longer exists as they have shut down unemployment benefits for the long time unemployed... so hey pressto the employment figures are rising again! Brakes, tyres, and some welding on an old damaged patch required. Writing next ministry report now, deadline Friday, english language. All well with T & S, and greets.

Mike.

Dunno?. I was'nt about either.

i finally found my stash of beer cunningly concealed in the bowels of my BX. having found and consumed i am again depraved of the hop. one day to christmas, the day when nice folks say nice things to other nice folks who believe in crucifixation and other gay habits. 2014....? well i have officially decided to go mad. expect 8 GB of luscious ladies on your doorstep soon drums. seriously thinking of moving back to blighty. time will tell. over to dad's tomorrow... he doesn't need to dress up as father christmas. i hope this was coherent?

Well I understand the code, not sure if anyone else does??. Sunny south coast (is today) has had two weeks of rain, areas of kent flooded, powercuts still, roads closed, river medway through maidstone twice normal width, moorings and boats underwater. On the bright side, had very nice old port yesterday and fell asleep rest of day, upside, no crappy tv.

Trying to behave myself now. Anyway some naughty bits and pieces started today on snail mail. Don't let P.Pat take a peek. Composing 2 kg for yg, doubt it will arrive in time for birthday. Postage costs going up per 1 January. Wanna list of everything that's gone up and the shortlist of unneccesary stuff that's going down? I didn't think so. So your water bill will be going down I guess? free rainwater. Fix barrel to flush loo. S yesterday in black 3-piece with tie for Xmas dins. Halfway through potty translation to be finished before 2014. 60 pages more to go .. ugh! Saw Hobbit 2 last week, 3-D specs. world looks different now :). Speaksoon.    

Happy New Year drums and any other visitors to this thread !!! Wishing you all the very best for 2014.... and some great marinades :)

Mike.

First big bite into the New Year.

Biting the New Year??. I do worry about your sanity at times. Got rained on in London yesterday, so spent long time kissing nurses, buying venison and drinking beer. Oh yeah, and watching female joggers on the south bank. Hope weathers better next month. I am now SOLAR POWERED. Bit the bullet and spent money, 16 panels on roof, now I need sunshine, that said have found that even on dull day can run lights, washing machine,two freezers and the cooker, at same time and still export power back into the grid. roll on summer !. Your choccy cakes disapeared into pub landlady, so you should be ok for extra chips when over. Drum

HA! Up early this morning doing church-crawl. No rain left after Tommy. Thinking about panels here too. Didn't get any text between then and now so prolly missed something. Car up and running, very large overhaul... allowed to use again for work due to tax increases on company car...HA! Painting doors today. want any Van Essa? Gonna see Mr. Hook and J. Wobble mit S coming Friday at festival... blast from the past. Mrs. Lunch will be there too. Hmmm... curry today or should i stick to the pies? I have an idea.. why not solar power the trains? With pedals to keep the passengers in good form. Just finished massive tech translation french - dutch for sport company. Any feedback on DVD for next time? Greetz to the landlord and lady and the iz if you see her. Hello Tom. T needs tea, back later... Mike.  

From what I understand, Hunter is/was from NYC, so since he's incommunicado at the moment, I would like to respectfully post a weather update from here.

For some reason, this latest storm wasn't as bad as the last one, but it piled more snow onto the streets. Our dog loves it. We were out last night and I let him "off leash" in a larger area that was public. He went nuts. It was awesome... running, rolling around... fantastic. 

Since I'm posting random garbage, here are the latest things that shocked me:

Music: Pet Shop Boys: Electric: 2013

Movies: The Departed: Scorcese: 2006

Food: Cheddar Cheese Powder: http://www.amazon.com/Cheddar-Cheese-Hoosier-Hill-Farm/dp/B008GG9ZS8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1391550240&sr=8-1&keywords=cheese+powder
