Qt Core: i knew about that some years we were 17 at launch on 25, 21 in the following dinner
Qt Core: *lunch
arabella Ella: yes
arabella Ella: but a smaller group i find means less stress
Qt Core: yes, and it can even be easier to satisfy all tastes ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: G'day all :)
Qt Core: Hi Agatha

Agatha Macbeth: Long time no see
Agatha Macbeth: Man, didn't think anyone would be here
arabella Ella: Hiya Aggers!!!!

Agatha Macbeth: I'm good, you okay?
Agatha Macbeth: Wow, this snow
arabella Ella: I am fine thanks altho the island nearly got blown away today with strong wind!
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: At least it's not too cold I presume?
--BELL--1330
arabella Ella: Ehrm for me is it pretty cold, for you this would be mild!
arabella Ella: is it snowing there?
Qt Core: wind and rain here too (but the alps shielded most of it (i've heard about 1 meter of snow in 12h in Swiss)
Agatha Macbeth: Not at the moment no
Agatha Macbeth: Actually it's windy here too
Agatha Macbeth: I'm totally disorientated this time of year, forgot it was my session
arabella Ella: yes Qt I watched the italian news and saw the 1 meter of snow in Switzerland with people trying to re-open the passes between Italy and Switzerland
Agatha Macbeth: Must be tricky up in those mountains
arabella Ella: well at least here we had fantastic weather for approx 2 weeks up until christmas
arabella Ella: then today boxing day (or st stephen's day as I prefer to call it) the heavens opened and the gales strted blowing!
Qt Core: with centuries of experience in living there and good road maintenance it still manageable
Agatha Macbeth nods
Qt Core: i still prefer the summer in mountains ;-)
arabella Ella: i find snow is nice if you can snuggle up indoors next to a warm fire
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, *very* true
arabella Ella: I prefer summer ... period!
arabella Ella: sun, long days, swimming, heat!
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Agatha Macbeth: I hate short daylight
Agatha Macbeth: I see you still have your rose
arabella Ella: ah ... my rose ... smells so sweet!
Agatha Macbeth: Is it one of those which stops animations?
arabella Ella: i lost my hair though a few days ago here and could not find it again so had to make do with this for the moment!
arabella Ella: yes the rose is a stop animations one
Agatha Macbeth: Yes I noticed
Agatha Macbeth: How did that happen?
arabella Ella: i honestly dont know
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Agatha Macbeth: Was it one of things which just vanished from your inventory?
arabella Ella: but one day when I have the time and patience I will look for it again and maybe if I dont find it buy some new stuff
arabella Ella: It vanished from my head and from my inventory
arabella Ella: just when I TPd from here to my lil plot here
Agatha Macbeth: Good grief
arabella Ella: oh well I just need to be patient for the moment

arabella Ella: when i last came on line i had to update my viewer as it had expired
arabella Ella: i use firestorm
Agatha Macbeth nods
arabella Ella: but i still had my hair until i moved to my plot

Agatha Macbeth: That often works with stuff which goes missing in FS
--BELL--1345
Agatha Macbeth: We can't lose our blonde Arabella now can we?

Agatha Macbeth: Yep
arabella Ella: oh no that is sad
Agatha Macbeth: It is
Agatha Macbeth: He's on his last legs by all accounts
arabella Ella: how sad!
Agatha Macbeth: But he's 85 I think, so had a good innings
arabella Ella: I am trying to spend as much time as I can with my Dad as he is becoming more and more forgetful and it is very sad too
arabella Ella: yes
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: I have enough trouble remembering things now! :p
arabella Ella: he he
arabella Ella: have you ever gone into the kitchen and started to wonder what you went there for?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh often
arabella Ella: or met someone you really know well and forgot his or her name?
arabella Ella: or felt persuaded today is monday since yesterday felt like a weekend?
Agatha Macbeth: And I can go into a room to do the same thing four times before it finally gets done
arabella Ella: he he
arabella Ella: aren't we all the same :)
Agatha Macbeth sighs
--BELL--1400
arabella Ella: my poor Dad went to his bank one day this week and when he got there he forgot what he went for so it is really sad!
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear, I'm not quite THAT bad yet...
arabella Ella: i should hope not!
arabella Ella: Dad actually felt quite embarrased and he would not tell me many details he just wanted to push the experience behind him!
arabella Ella: and I dont blame him
Agatha Macbeth: I'm not surprised
arabella Ella: I must get going now but to finish on a better more positive note I would like to wish you all a peaceful and happy 2014 ... that is, if I don't see you before the year ends!
