One of the plasterers got here about 8:30, having gotten stuck in the snow several times on the way. (The other is probably still stuck on the other side of Lewis Pass.) Apparently it was barely snowing out his way. We've got 6-8", and more still coming, and the drifts are knee-high. Not much in snowy climes, but a bit much for the locals, and ( Read more... )

quake, snow, great disruption, house, big events

Yay! I'd forgotten you were on LJ -- so good to see you here ;-)

The caravan is wonderful. I really don't think I'd be coping with all the dust and fumes if we were trying to be in the house during all this.

Love and hugs and more love!

If the Powers That Be (or Big Mama, whichever or Whoever) would simply slow down a bit on this Modernising caper, maybe we could catch up with the flow a bit better! Must say, it sounds as though you've got a good attitude a-brewing there. Good ON yer! I'm proud to claim you as part of my family line!

Don't sit still for long enough for Shingles to spring into the lively mixture . . . . . . and I was SO SO going to get a preventive shot for shingles before I went down with the recent maladies. Wouldn't you just know it? I'm surviving but it's definitely not a favoured malaise. Bloody sore it is!

Virtual hugs and all that there foolishness!!

Oh, Mamita! Shingles, on top of all the rest? So so so sorry! (SO not fair!) Hope it settles as quickly as may be ... Does calamine and suchlike do any good?

Gentle hugs and good thoughts and ever so much love!!!

Daphne--Shingles? So very sorry. I did not know there was a shot.
Shingles are horrible stuff.

Luv and hugs to you, too,

Boy is behaving himself fine :). To hear him talk you'd think that the only reason he is hanging out to get home is so he can keep playing an x-box game :P lol

But he is missing his home :P

We'll be fine. The snow is deeper this morning so I've been trying to prepare him for the idea that his dad might not be happy driving today either.

We still have plenty of food and with my computer set up again he can get some online game time (if he picks the right games, still missing some of that flash stuff). And still got plenty of food :)
