That site was neat marius. I notice a lot of the same cities repeated again and again, wonder what the inhabitants think of that. I would be interested to see a similar list for Canada.

Baldur, we're not too far off of your temperature right now. It's -14 in Red Deer (which would be about 7 fahrenhiet). Is this typical weather for you for this time of year at Boughbreak? This is pretty normal for us. Our work is having our Christmas party tomorrow and we're doing a sleigh ride, the high tomorrow is supposed to be -15 degree (5F) but the sleigh ride doesn't start until 5:00 and the sun will have set by then so it's likely to be colder. We'll all be wearing our long johns tomorrow!

Dragon

Here's a good Christmas offering. I can't remember if it was posted here last year but it's so good it's worth posting again.

Dragon, hope those long johns do the trick! Erm ... what kind? Marius has silk ones which work quite well here (with additional layers of course) but not thinking that's warm enough for Canada.

And ... LOVE that youtube! Funny! : )

Loved the singing ... and loved the humour.

Baldur

That temperature is a bit low for Boughbreak for this time of year, Dragon.

All is quiet??!!

Baldur

No, not as quiet here at Boughbreak as Baldur would like.
It has been a very hectic month, and now we have four cats as a permanent part of the household, two of them being nocturnally hyperactive kittens.

Normal

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MARIUS! Normal was totally socked in last night, so there was nothing to stay up for. Glad some other folks got a good look!

I saw the first half and couldn't stay awake any longer. Was very impressive. There are some wonderful pictures out there.

I always enjoyed the quote "Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs should relax and learn to live with it." by Robert A. Heinlein (I think I got the quote right anyway)
