G'day, Tyce. Finally back with us? Come to stay this time?

Shall we start?

Hi Tyce, Welcome home. Bet you wish the trip was still going. All well?

Just received my latest addition to the t-shirt collection the other day. In memory:

Hi Obsidian, Yes it would be awesome to still be in the UK particularly given how cold it is here. I’m well, how are you?

Agreed! My week went well,thank you, despite the weather being unseasonably and unreasonably cool. Last weekend was the 100km walkers, this weekend it's the Windermere Marathon (which goes past the door) and the Windermere Swim. This means an influx of hundreds of people, on roads built for horse-and-cart traffic, so our plan is to stay indoors and not even attempt to use the car.

Servalan looks so good in red.

Exhausted dealing with going through our friend's belongings and trying to work at the same time. Need a holiday. But gotta keep on going.

Sorry to hear that. Hope things improve soon.

Oh. so the weather was cold this week? It was so lovely when I was there.

Shut up. This is the North. You visited the South. There's a difference.

Keep a low profile and order in.

Preparation is everything, especially since there's nobody daft enough to operate a delivery service here, where there are only people here for weekend 'events' or if the sun comes out. Made strawberry shortcake yesterday.

This miniature Orac stuff is stupid. If it could be done, why not do it all the time rather than cart that great big version around?

Still waiting for the right opportunity to use 'vulpine degenerate'.

Oh come on. Yes, of course the south is quite a lot warmer, but there's been a huge difference between temperatures at the end of May and temperatures last week just about everywhere. It has been both cold and wet last week.

Plus, of course, the north of England is hardly 'the North' - nothing south of Inverness is really north, and to Shetlanders even that is the far south.

Hi AA, How are you?

Anyway, hello everyone. Sorry to hear about all the stress, Obsidian. And very nice to meet you in London, Tyce - glad the rest of the trip went well.
