Weather report... boring. And the Perfect Man!!

[curiouswombat]

The great snowstorms sweeping across the British Isles have swept across the bottom half of the small island - blown by steady 35mph winds. It began to snow at 9am. It snowed almost constantly until 5pm - and not a single flake has stuck below about 1,000ft. I am really quite disappointed as I am a bit of a big kid when it snows - at least for the first couple of days.

I do, still, send warm wishes, mugs of virtual hot chocolate, woolly blankets and so on to those of you who are knee-deep in snow and feeling the need to cuddle up by the fire. I hope you are all enjoying the weather rather than finding it makes life too difficult.

And now for something completely different.

Across the Atlantic, The New York Daily News went out to find Mr Perfect after revealing the results of a survey by an online dating site into what women look for in a man. They reckon that they've found him - and guess what? He's a Manxman. Actually his father taught me French at school and I can vaguely remember him as a small child...

...And to think you knew the perfect man. *g*

I vaguely remember that there were two or three small boys - who all seemed perfectly reasonable small boys - but clearly his outstanding qualities had not been fully honed at that point! :)

By the way it is lovely to see you - I was just thinking a couple of days ago that I hadn't seen you here for a little while, and was hoping it was because you were doing something nice.

It's lovely to be back. I wish I were doing something nice, but a few days before Christmas, mom, who is 90 going on 91, caught pneumonia, and since she suffers from chronic atrial fibrillation, due to an ASD which was only corrected when she was past 84, everything went haywire. She was hospitalized for 19 at a cardiac intensive care unity, 7 of which she was sedated and on a ventilator. She's been home now for around 2 weeks, and is almost her old self again.

So, believe me, I'm very happy to be back.

Oh dear - no wonder you've been missing. I am really pleased to hear that she is home and back to herself. Give her a hug from me - even though she doubtless has no idea at all who I am!

Thanks! I hugged her for you, she was really tickled, and told me to hug you back, so here it goes.
