Last Person to Win?

[_Lynn_]

The forecast is for another ice storm here this week. Yuck.

 

[TxRad]

Hello you.

I was worried that you had lost power. I saw reports of major power outages in that area.

It's good to know you are alright.

I was lucky. The power didn't go off. But there was a lot of ice.

Thanks for caring.

Hey, HP. How are things on your side of the pond?

Hey, HP. How are things on your side of the pond?

Cool, not to say Effin' cold.
And you ?

I'm doing good.

I'm doing good.

The writing sure is. . . . .

The 750-word piece I did, you mean? That was a last minute bit I dropped into the project. I'm finally feeling better since COVID and my hospital stay in January. Some of the old stories I started (and left) are nagging at me to work on again. Fingers crossed that urge stays with me.

I do, too. Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Amen to that, Madam

What is the difference between Madam, a Madam, a right little madam, or even a Ma'am?

In her case it's me trying to be polite.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Vive la politesse!

You succeed very well.

You succeed very well.

He does have his finer points.

How goes life in the deep freeze? Nude yard work makes me smile. Nude with a snow shovel makes me cringe.

 

[Handley_Page]

You succeed very well.

Thank you, Madam.
I trust all's well?

Frostbite, even the imaginary kind makes me wince.

I have people to shovel for me, but even stepping outside nude in the snow makes me cringe too.

Thank you, Madam.

Other than dealing with some tiredness, I'm doing good. It's snowing again so I'll stay inside.

We may finally be in Spring; it's been above zero for three days now. But we're still expecting our traditional St. Patrick's Day blizzard (often over 30 cms!). And then again, we have had snow in April at times, and I remember two Mays with snow on the tulips.

Very prudent, I'm sure.

We've been having ('suffering' ?) the Spring Rains.
Cold and bloody WET

 

[Rustyoznail]

Oh look. Summer's arrived three months late.

Our mayflies generally arrive in August.
