    Heehee! Great card @sweetp!
    @kathy Well the house survived but it was a sleepless night. VERY scary with winds and gusts over 90mph. Combined with hail it really felt like someone had a machine gun aimed at the house! Wheelie bins (trash cans) were rolling around the street and a couple of neighbours cars were hit so the alarms were going off. Debris was strewn around the garden but it was still dark when we left for work and it's going to be dark when I get home so goodness knows what I'm going to find. I've definitely got some damaged potted plants and trees :( The roof however seems to be ok. Hubby went out with a torch this morning and checked it.
    @estar what's wrong with a barrel of whisky? LoL!! That will keep her going for another year!!
    Hope you had a lovely day @karen68 Jeez you're looking good for 68! Haahaa!!
    I've been watching in utter disbelief at the events in Paris today. Had the live reports on my iPhone playing at work. It's completely surreal....like watching a movie. Sadly it's not :( Shocking,just shocking and very,very scary. My hearts go out to everyone involved :( I just can't say what I think about these *bleeps*
    OB I'll take a coffee to go please. Heading home for dinner then an early and hopefully peaceful night sleep.

    @jlz666 wow what a rough night, I'm glad you suvived safe & sound, even if all your trees didn't. Hope the damage isn't too bad.
    Enjoy the rest of your Friday everyone :)

    I thought I recognised that tweety bird voice @birdaddict! Yeah we survived,just ruffled feathers ;) I swear the next time I move house it will be to a gully in a valley not on top of a bloody hill! Oh wait.........it rains a lot here........flooding or wind damage? Gotta love Scotland ;)
  • JLZ 666JLZ 666
    Sorry @karen I was talking over you. Leaving it up to hubby to do a clean up tomorrow while I'm at work. The man who plays golf in all weather is shying out tomorrow as wind is picking up again and snow is forecast! Guess 50mph sleet in the face isn't fun lol!! Just about to veg on the sofa with iPad and look for a pick me up mini break for our anniversary in March. Looking is half the fun :D

    @Hunnybunny -- How right. Je suis Charlie. They got all of them, but unfortunately at the cost of a few innocent lives.
    @TomPuss -- You must be physically well, I hope. I assume you're pretty mentally shaken up. Remember that these kind of unspeakably horrible events bring us together and make us stronger.
  • mvnla2mvnla2
    @Kathy -- Boston Strong for the Olympics!
  • KathyKathy

    A Customer!
    OB opens a weary eye, "Ah, Hunnybunny, your usual?"
    "Yes, please, and drinks on me for anyone else who drops in tonight"
    Hunnybunny settles into a little booth, having had a rather good day, clutches her whiskey lovingly, and hopes the BP is empty simply because everyone else is still having a rather good day....
  • mvnla2mvnla2
    Hi @Hunnybunny @kathy -- Are you still here? OB -- How about something like a rum toddy? It's got to be warm. It's actually been a grey, rainy day here, and more rain predicted for tomorrow.

  • KathyKathy
    I'm sorry @annifrid but i gotta pop out for a bit . I'll bee back
    Good luck on your exams; )
  • KathyKathy
    Lol i don't Ike smelly cheese but yes have it as you want ;)
  • mvnla2mvnla2
    @Annifrid --Good Luck on your exam! But shouldn't you be sleeping even when you last posted? I learned early on in college that my brain was mush if I didn't get enough sleep, especially for science or math tests.
    And what smelly cheese do you like?
  • AnnifridAnnifrid
    @mvnla2 My brain kinda works the other way :) I learn best at night when everyone's sleeping and I can concentrate on it. I'm a terrible night owl who wouldn't get enough sleep anyway (exams over here generally start at 8-9am) and from my own experience no sleep at all is much better than just a few hours. I'll go to bed immediately after the test, I promise :)

    As for the cheese, I'll eat pretty much any kind. French ones are the best. The more it smells the better it tastes ... and as an added bonus my sister hates it ;)
  • mvnla2mvnla2
    @annifrid -- Well, I sort of agree with you, but only partially. When I was in college, the first year I lived in a dorm, and got into the habit of sleeping for 3 hrs after dinner (when everyone was running about and chatting), then getting up at maybe 10 and studying until 3am, then sleeping until 6 or 7. However I did sleep a lot (OK, 6 or 7 hours) on a regular schedule every day.
    What taught me the lesson about sleep was the time I had a paper due the same day as a physics test, and had left the paper until the last second. I stayed up essentially all night writing the paper, and then went to the physics test, which I should have done very well on. However, my brain was totally mush, and I couldn't remember or figure out how to solve most of the problems. I did so poorly, the teaching assistant asked if I had been sick.
    I'm thinking I posted this before?
