I don't know if I could ever get use to xmas with summer weather. I have enough difficulty having xmas with rain and no snow!!!!

Bob

use to the snow then?

Grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba and Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario - so yes very use to snow,until of course went to live on the west coast for university.

What's happening in your neck of the woods? More snow?

Bob

Not right now, shoudl get some more in the morning though, followed by wind, cold and rain...so should be interesting on the roads...

Treacherous roads when that happens. You drive really carefully if you're going away - we don't want anything to happen to you.

Bob

aye, off to the in-laws....FIL is hacking down an x-mas tree for us...so that should be interesting...but should be alright...studded winter tyres...gotta love 'em

AmerLisa

Ah sounds like fun Bobo.....he likes you, right? :scared:

Bob

Hehe...yeah, I get on with the in-laws..I did say not to get anything over 6 foot though, or it'll stay in the car...they tend to get huge trees...and to me, anything over 1 foot is a big enough x-mas tree...well that's what I use to get at uni at the market for a quid

I guess I'm used to xmas in the sun, I grew up here in Oz.

Went out looking for a real xmas tree yesterday. Was quite hard. Everyone here seems to have fake ones(I guess cause the real ones aren't good).
Witnessed a car crash on the way there (only material damage, and a big bang! ). Didn't find any in garden centres. Then on the way back took a detour to avoid crash scene, and came across a sigh: xmas trees!
So found this other garden centre. They had real ones (Norfolk?) and Australian native bushes that could do the job too (but a bit 'weak"), but at least those ones will survive in this hot and dry climate.
So, now I have an 'Albany woolybush' as xmas tree
At least better than a fake one!
I'll only but the little glass balls in it.

Yeah, good weekend.
Still writing xmas cards...
Also went clothes shopping.
And had friends over.

I wonder how Bundy is, I better email her. It's been at least a week since we've heard from her...

Bob

Send her best wishes for x-mas and the new year

Covenant

Bundy?


Bump

Bob

You've been quiet again..how's things my ole mucker?

Covenant

Hiya Bob, fine, thanks for asking. Finally starting to discipline myself and only post on expats ocassionally.

It's easy, once you stay away for a few posts, things move so fast here, that you've lost the thread of the conversation (no pun intended).

Still pop in once in a while!

Good to see ya Cov ... nice av btw, I'll have to dig out my old MASH videos

Covenant

Hi DM, I thought I'd better bump the old thread otherwise Bundy will have a fit when she returns

Can't beat Hawkeye for dry wit! One of my all time fav series.
