Whoops, it’s…. not winter

Anyone remember last year?

Apart from it being between 15.5 and 19° Celsius these days, which makes last year look surreal (or maybe rather this year….) I feel the need to mention what they did in Ochtrup on Saturday. They held emergency generator parties in several restaurants in the area (which had been among the areas effected by the power outages last year). With decorated generators running outside and candles illuminating the inside, people gathered to eat pea soup in remembrance of the support and help the communities offered each other during the long power outage last year.

    I do remember your post from last year! Yeah, its not winter here either. Today was sunny and about 60 degrees F (15.6 degrees C). Hey, its warmer in Germany than Indiana! I’m glad people came together to help each other during your big power disruption. There is at least some good in most people.

    Well I can’t say about the weather in Iraq cause in the morning it is terribly hot that I go out in a T-shirt and as it become darker it become terribly cold so as an Iraqi I may say “thank God that we r not allowed to go out at night a guess it has become beneficial in the end”…:D
    And a good side of Iraq is that we don’t have to worry about power disruption too, so isn’t Iraq a great country after all.
    OK, but I have a request would u make a snow man for me when it starts snowing it is something that I always wanted to do but ,what can I say the closest thing to snow that I’ve witnessed is frost so take care and keep warm…

    these are the clean people!

    meaning:
    if that was iraq, AT LEAST the generators would have been stolen..

    Massachusetts weather report — 70F / 21C yesterday… broke a record held since the 1880s. I guess the good news is that this isn’t anything new. It helps break the ice and warm the pea soups ;-)

    Dear ws?, could it be my sister was so confused that she didn’t remember her blogger name? Pat poor icy Bogdan from me.

    Tamara, hhhhhhm, spring…… Oh, and welcome. I just had to hop over and check after David’s comment on the Kid’s blog. ;)
    Lynnette, brrrrr…

    Sister, dear, can you change the settings on your “new” blog? I refuse to join the Opera community in order to be able to comment….

    Hi!
    I’d already granted access and the right to comment to all and sundry (see my mail). What I did now was to allow anonymous comments, too. If that doesn’t help I don’t know what else to do. Move my blog to blogspot?
