Find Ancestors

Gins we left on Thursday morning got into Euston at 4pm and it took us an hour to get to the hotel where our friends were waiting for us.

We left the hotel at 8.20 am and got back at around 11pm at night then did it all over again the next day.

We had fun it was brilliant to catch up with everyone and I enjoyed the event also.

Not posted any photos as you know who beat me to it :-D

glad to hear OH's back is better :-)

hi all

It's still snowing here ............. and the weather forecasters have just "amended" the forecast for today.

They originally said that "light snow will end about noon and be replaced by rain"

the new forecast ............

....... "heavy snow all day, stopping about nightfall, temperature staying at 0C, and accumulations of 10-30cm in the Metro area"


we've had about 2 cm in the last 1½ hours, for an accumulation so far of about 8.5 cm :-0




Apparently, the cold wind blowing out from the north east has not changed direction




Don't you like it when meteorologists have to apologise for their wrong forecasts?
:-D

Glad OH back is better, watch that lifting in the garage

WDYTYA was very quiet this year, almost as quiet as this place :-(

Not a very pleasant morning here and we wanted to get some stuff in the garage sorted out. I suppose we will be undercover though.... :-S


Thankfully, OH's back problem seems to be a thing of the past.........hopefully :-D


Quick browse and off I go...~~

Dea Xxx <3 <3

Hope the sale goes through okay Sylvs........one less thing to worry about :-D



TV can be rubbish in general Gins.......and it can depend what mood you're in too. Don't know what that says about me as I love murders!!!


I feel as though I haven't stopped all day.....roll on bedtime....it's a bit early yet though. :-(


See you in the morning......

Mortgage chains.......

We would be cash buyers, no chain, unless the guys behind us had to sell theirs.......and we had to sell ours!!!!!

An, inevitable chain

I heard from our realtor yesterday evening ............... the prospective buyers got in to the property yesterday, on their snow shoes ............... and more importantly, got out again :-)

Their agent says they are still interested, and are now going to apply get a mortgage.

Depending on their financial state, that may or may not be a sticking point.


Luckily, we don't get those "chains" that you used to get in the UK .......... do you still get them??????



well, the Olympics are over ....................... and Canada won the gold in the Men's ice hockey early this morning :-D

I did NOT get up to watch it ................ it was on out TV from about 4 am to 6 am :-)

hi all

it's snowed all night, and is still snowing ........ and it is sticking and accumulating today!

We must have close to 5 cm on the sun deck


we're not used to this in this city :-D

I am just wondering about the creme brulee French toast though... :-S


Would you mind if I had it separately? French toast followed by a creme brulee :-D :-D

we have received an offer on the cabin ........................ which is currently covered with at least 3' of snow.

The buyers put in the offer at the asking price on Wednesday ................... we have to accept it as it is "asking price", and had to do it by 8 pm today (Saturday)

so we signed the papers and sent them back to our realtor this morning.

They put in the bid "sight unseen" ...........

............... but are apparently visiting the property "today", with snow shoes in the car, so they can "walk" the 20 acres :-)

hi all

it was snowing when we woke this morning. :-(

Everywhere was white except for the roadway and sidewalks.


It has since switched between snow and rain ................. and every possible variant of the two .............. sometimes within a block!
