A quiet Thursday #464

[RICHARD]

Hi everyone.

Hope you are all well and I am opening the bar a little later than usual.

come in and sit by the fire.
Done!

[Karen]

I would love to sit by the fire, it's cold out, and that sounds nice and relaxing. Cocoa, please!
(In real life to much to do, but I can pretend part of me is there!)

It's freezing here and according to the weather channel, we are to have snow most of the week with 10-15 cm on Wednesday. Merlin and I have been propped up by the fire and today I made some ham and pea soup. Any takers??? I even have garlic croutons and a cheeze plate. Dig in everyone.

Prayers for Gini.

[Karen]

Soup sounds marvelous, thanks! I'll help myself, you can stay by the fire!

[Pinot's Mom]

I'll have soup later - anyone for coffee and scones?

[Queen of Poop]

Could I get a hot chocolate please??? It's -25oC here, the wind chill is -35oC. My office is freezing cold. Wish I were home under a blanket with the kitties.

I'll pour you some hot chocolate, don't worry. Sounds like what you could use is a present I got my sister-in-law and her husband for Christmas. This local artist makes mugs that are designed so your finger fit inside the wall of the mug, instead of there being a handle, so when you fill the mug with something hot, it'll keep your hand warm holding it! They are really neat, an ingenious idea!

That is a fabulous mug idea Karen! Would sure work out today. We're to have these temps all week so tomorrow I'm bringing my fingerless gloves to wear all day if they can't get the heat going.

It's 45F (7C) in Chicago today. Warm enough to get the car washed. Here, I will put on some decaf coffee.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'll just sit here and wait for the weather change they say is coming. It's in the mid 60s now but is going to drop like a rock by about 40 degrees by tonight with a north wind. It might get up to freezing tomorrow if we are lucky. Crazy Kansas weather!!!

I'd love some iced green tea if there is any.

Hey guys, it has been a while and I wanted to stop in. Life has been down, it's been up and I feel mostly sideways.

Think I'll just sit here and take a load off and sip a DOTT for old times sake.

to all!

[Lady's Human]

Welcome back to the bar. Sideways ain't bad, especially is it's sideways on the sofa.

Any requests for drinks? I'm making some coffee, let me know what you want.

[Karen]

Hot cocoa with cinnamon and marshmallows! We finally got snow! Just a little, but it is snow! First we've had since October!

[Lady's Human]

Hot cocoa it is! I'd send you some snow, but we're getting a nasty cold rain at the moment, I'd rather have the white stuff.

[Queen of Poop]

Could I get in on that hot cocoa too please!!! Still no heat in my or my bosses offices. It's -30oC outside, the wind chill is -38oC and it's not a whole lot warmer inside right now!!!
