Bistro Bijou

[Homburg]

I simply cannot concieve. The deepest snow I've been in ever was only 23". Admittedly, it all fell in one night, and it was here in Virginia, so it was bloody impressive period, but still...

The snow y'all are talking abou tis mind-boggling to this southern gent.

It's really beautiful here with all the snow (or without it), but it feels really isolated sometimes. I have to take some pics from the front of my house. There's a golf course right across the road so it's fairly flat and you can see the hills in the distance. It's gorgeous in an empty sort of way. I think I've mentioned that Stephen King lives in the nearest town to me (Bangor) and grew up around here. When you live here, you really get a feel for the huge spaces and isolation he writes about (so creepishly well) in some of his novels.

And Bijou my love, we may be digging a snow tunnel just to get to the car soon.

We used to get bad snow here when I was a child and living by the sea (in Norfolk then) we used to sledge down the sand dunes and I have seen sea frozen, the wind used to blow straight of the North Sea and the first thing it used to hit was me coming out the front door on my way to school! The insides of the windows used to freeze up and all we had at nights were a hot water bottle apiece ... can you imagine what it was like having to get out of bed in the morning to go to school no central heating in a shepherds house !!

Ahhh! I grew up on the South Downs near Portsmouth and fondly remember tobogganing down the hill at a rate of knots before coming to the road and just hoping that no cars were coming along at that time.

I miss snow in this hole-in-the-ozone-layer heat that we now have to endure.

I live about 25 minutes north of Norfolk. Course it's our version of Norfolk, not the original. There's also a Portsmouth, Kilmarnock, York, etc, etc. Creative lot, those colonists...

Throws a snowball at you. (Bet it would feel good in that heat!)

I think what this thread needs is a good snowball fight!

*runs in with an armful of water balloons, tossing them randomly, with terrible aim*

all we got here at the moment is rain, and I thought an actual mud fight might be a bit much.

so: WATER EVERYWHERE!

*runs out again till tomorrow*

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Hidey ho babes.

I'm making a lovely slow-cooked pot roast with root vegetables and oven-roasted taters with rosemary and olive oil. Would you like some for the Bistro?

And a side order of some Duke Ellington always tastes just right to me.

YUM! You had me at slow-cooked.

I'm groovin' on some Donald Fagen. This was a theme song for a while in college.

Love, love, love Steely Dan. They're so jazzy.

I got 15 minutes of sleep last night. Literally. I'm not quite to the point where I'm seeing shit out of the corner of my eyes, but it probably isn't far off. If I see any really freaky Coleridge-on-laudunum stuff, I'll try to write it down in epic verse style.

If it starts looking like a Heironymus Bosch painting, call me. I've always wanted to be in on one of those hallucinations.

I really need to figure out how to order my hallucinations a la carte.

Can't help you on that one, poor guy. You better go to sleep early tonight! We'll be checking, and there's nothing worse than a bunch of poet chicks haranguing you. And we'll make Champie throw snowballs at you. I hear she's a good shot.

 

[unpredictablebijou]

O hell yeah, True dat. *nodding*

I'm really good at smothering sick people. My policy is to be so annoying and overly maternal that they get better just to get away from me.

Will this do for an hallucination?
