    My excuse - the past two weeks I have been out of town on business Monday through Friday and I have to do it again this week. Hopefully next week will be the last.

    Speaking of Scotch, has anyone heard form our long lost friend Jocky?

    G
    No, he appeared to just disappear. Maybe Mrs Jocky thought he was flirting with sound!

    Perhaps, everyone is painting, wallpapering and trimming the sheep. I have spring fever, It starts in winter and continues past summer

    Nah, Mrs Jocky isn't one for leaving the web for that; she would have him massacre me with eloquent Shakespearean passages that I didn't understand

    And I was hoping you were doing a 3 hour work day and then lounging on the Hawaiian beaches with Mrs Gurgle...is there a Mrs Gurgle?
    Not quite Hawaii, but I can tell you that the other two coworkers and I are lounging at the various local haunts each night following work.

    Yes there is a Mrs. Gurgle and a Gurgle junior (15) both of whom will attest that I've gone quite mad.

    The local haunts with the guys sounds almost as good Didn't the Mrs all ready figure you were mad when you showed up in Texas...It takes way too much gumption to live there, and then there's the weather...
    I have noticed that women from Texas are the most beautiful of all 50 states; is the Mrs a former beauty queen?

    I don't envy you just yet.

    While winter has struck nice & wet in the southern parts, we're still getting 21-22 degrees on a daily basis.

    There are kids wandering around who've forgotten what rain actually is.

    I like to keep an eye on what Google is serving us up, and here's today's serving:

    We have to transplant a few of you "mens men" to the states...A man who builds things, what a phenomena!

    Oh, how I wish it was 69 degrees Farenheit all of the time here...well, maybe a few days for the beach. My daughter went out for a short walk a few days ago and came home with a mean burnt back. It also always feels like you're in a microwave.
    Next thing you know, they will be advertising strip clubs and escort services...Oh gosh, did I just see my picture on that pole

    It's a nice balmy 16-18 here at the moment. Just right. We don't want no 27-30s. (I can't think in Faren- thingy, it's got to be nice simple celsius).

    By the way - I've been busy, and the decorating is still not finished. I've got a long wekend coming up though.

    That's a little cool for us Floridians to spend much time outdoors; but great for inside activities. Can you paint when the temperature drops a bit lower; our cans tell us not to paint below 55 degrees farenheit (I just look up the conversion on google nowadays)

    That would never do in Merrie old England- 55 Degrees! We chaps would never be able to do any decorating at all!

    I'm thinking I may soon be called upon to decorate the bedroom. We got a new bed the other day and I am informed that it doesn't match the room. I feel out manovered.

    I have before - I don't think about it unless it's freezing.

    Cooler here at the weekend. Fresh we'll be calling it.

    The only place that's gotr much wallpaper is the lounge - which I've nearly done. I'm fine with painting - done in a couple of hours. I don't mind that.
