Janey .... I used tro really like familyhistoryonline as well, found lots of stuff on there.



J phoned this morning to have a quick chat ............ not only will we be away at the weekend, but they are preparing themselves in Nova Scotia for the possibility that Hurricane Earl will hit on Saturday. We'll have to listen to the radio to find out what happens, but we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Hurricane Juan hit as a category 2 back in 2004 and did a lot of damage to buildings, ships and trees, etc, although I believe that no-one was even seriously injured, fortunately. Earl was downgraded to a category 3 this morning, and might be a category 1 or 2 before reaching NS and/or Newfoundland. It may drop even as low as a tropical storm ..... which will still mean torrential rain

J said they are going out this evening to stock up on foods, especially canned, and to make sure the car petrol tank is filled up.

They lost a lot of frozen food back in 2004 when the electricity was out for several days, and they also hadn't got a full tank in the car ............ petrol stations weren't working with no electricity, so that was a problem! M is also going to make sure that they have 2 full propane tanks for the bbq .... so they have learnt some lessons!

M went back to school on Monday ...... staff training and preparation for 3 days, then the kids return tomorrow (Thursday). HOWEVER, it has been so hot this week that school might be cancelled after today ........ it has been registering 35C and over, but the Humidex factor (due to humidity) means that it has effectively been over 40C ......... and schools are not air conditioned.

J said the temperature is supposed to still be high on Saturday when Earl might hit ... that would be miserable!! 100% humidity, 100+kmh winds, etc etc.

Please think of her if you hear anything on the news about Earl ..... "south shore of Nova Scotia" would mean that there would be some effect on Halifax.

Meanwhile, yesterday in Vancouver was the wettest EVER August day .............. about 55.8mm rain officially, that's about 10x the normal average rainfall. It was also apparently the 16th wettest day ever in any season.

Add to that, the high temperature for the day was around 15C.


The sun is out again today, and the temperature is rising!

Sylvia are you back to breakfast's tomorrow ... if not I will roll up sleeves to start preparing for the "Ulster fry" for tomorrow


Robert

Hi Robert


I won't be back until at least September 13

we're out at a party tonight, possibly too late to come on here afterwards.


so I'd be very grateful if you could take over breakfast duty for the next 10 days or so.

Just had a small half a house full....theyve gone now and it was tea and food only

Thats why theyve gone!

Must watch Alex Higgins now

Remember folks tomorrow morning will be Ulster fry with tea .... will dry out the teabag from today and should be able to get one more breakfast from them. I will do some pancakes for the "Huntress"

Robert

I like pancakes too,so dont let that Cynthia scoff em all before I get up please.

And I look forward to finding out what an Ulster Fry is.

But I will skip the cuppa as I dont like milky water and will make my own tea ,thanks all the same Rob...

Robert

Is that Ulster fry or Ulster fry-up

Hope it is not something made with spent tea bags!!!


Renes

What

a


long


day!

Was up at 4am trawling round the house 'cos we heard a noise......couldn't find anything wrong. Went back to bed. Up again at 7am and haven't stopped since. Don't even think I can get much messaging done tonight.


Took grandchildren into town today for a mooch.....how tiring is mooching??? Went to Starbucks and granddaughter was all overcome because some the town's professional rugby players were there! She and her mum have a season ticket. Watching her shimmy-ing past looking nonchalent was so funny.....I mean, she is 12 after all!!


Everyone came for tea and when they had gone the kitchen looked like a bomb had hit it again. Just wanted to put my feet up and then we had a visitor....


Renes, your garden sounds fantastic.....quite jealous.


Robert, I am looking forward to those pancakes no end.

Now I am going for a mooch to see what is happening on the boards....much easier mooching on here than round town.

Think I saw Ulster fry on Hairy Bikers its a full English really maybe with something extra like Guiness perhaps

We didn't have it when I was a kid there

Robert

if you say so

Ginny ... Ireland ... go away ...

Sylvia, will keep fingers crossed that the hot/high pressure over this eastern part of the continent pushes Earl out to sea as it's supposed to. I haven't paid attention to where it's got to today. We don't need the leaking back roof here either, although it would be a bit much to complain about that, if your family people were having to barbecue their food in a hurricane. ;)

Hello Shirley...Densirl

Well...my family ..an Ulster fry meant a full English breakfast

My dad’s side anyhow


Mom’s side could have been anything from pancakes, waffles, eggs and grits

Ginny ... Ireland ... go away ...

Err....what?
