Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[blue1948]

Good morning all on this penultimate day of 2023 .I hope all are well and had a good kip. We are expecting -27° next week so anyone thinking of somewhere to go for a few days are welcome over .
Hope the trip goes well @jazzy if you are sitting there reading these posts .
Sometimes little things change the way you view the world or at least some of it .I have posted that we have friends in Mumbai ,we were on Facebook at Christmas when they announced that they are expecting another baby in May which is a source of great joy for their son who has an app on his phone .
Well this app is for expectant siblings to help them understand as " the baby is 15cm "means nothing to a 5 year old they have compared the baby to a piece of fruit now their baby is a banana and will finish as a water melon -I will never see another pregnant woman in the same light again .
We took this photo after the sauna last night but I forgot to post it ,Have a great day all COYB :-

Morning all, another rainy one here yet again, the fields round here are laying in water, difficult to believe this is one of the driest parts of the country. Your pic is lovely @blue1948 and much as I would love to see the snow I must decline your offer -27 is just bit on the chilly side. Lightweight I know!
Have a good day, all.

Currently waiting in the lounge at Manchester Airport to board the 11.30 to Barbados where the temp is 30 degrees and full sun.

Will be up in the air for the duration of our game so fingers crossed.

Enjoy the holiday! Barbados is once of my favourite places, and you'll certainly enjoy it if you haven't been before.

PS. For Jazzy, I meant to post this yesterday from my local paper : On this Day in 1903; Jazz pianist Earl Hines , who developed the modern single-finger style, was born in Duquesne , Pennsylvania . .From the Bob Dylannsong “ Duquesne Whistle “ it’s pronounced “ Dukane” !

I used to fly over to Pittsburg every two weeks and pass through Duquesne while crossing the Monongahela river, only ever passed through it though……

Hi guys. I've been in the pub all afternoon. Discovered that gin was doubles for the price of singles so I've discovered the joys of rhubarb and ginger gin - after asking the barman which gin tasted least like gin. Anyway look who is in the pub where we are
