Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I guess I am lucky to have had a longish break over Christmas and the New Year, but it seems to have gone really quickly. This morning I am back at work, and it is still pitch-black outside the office window, with just street lights showing in the distance. Oh well ....

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Hi Peter It was very dark this morning - I suppose the thick cloud didn't help! I hope you enjoy the cd. I put one of my Christmas present cds on when I came home - Hammerfall - and really love it. Colin is the Terry Pratchett fan and we don't have the book yet. He likes to wait until they come out in paperback (take up less room on the shelf). I'll tell him you enjoyed it. I know he's looking forward to reading it.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 you must try extra hard to keep your spirits up. when I lived in nyc, it was dark in the winter sometimes by 4:30, I would feel depressed and trapped indoors on such a winter's day. I would watch fun shows on tv, turn up the radio, mixed fun fruit and veggie concoctions, get creative in the kitchen, chat with a neighbor, read a good book, paint draw and arts and crafts. etc. I decided not to take any (artificial) drugs, instead I took Omega trhree, which have been shown to lift moods. , " heartwerk " <jo.heartwork@g...> wrote: > back at work, and it is still pitch-black outside the office window, > with just street lights showing in the distance. > > Oh well .... > > Jo > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 My spirits are fine really - I would just rather not have to work - but at least I have a job - so many people need jobs and don#'t have them. It is 7.40 a.m. and still dark here, and it gets dark about 4.30 p.m. This year we have fitted security lights so at least we can have some light to empty the bins by when we go home in the evening, and Colin can fill the bird feeders without having to hold a torch at the same time.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 You can come join me hear in sunny AZ. It's expected to be 82 today and the sunshine felt wonderful this morning at breakfast. They are saying we are back in a drought again, but that the valley should be fine because all the rains last year filled our reservours. I heard that we (AZ) are trying to work out a deal between several states close by (NV, CA, etc) on how to share the Colorado River and that there hasn't been an agreement in years past, so unlikely to be so this time either. But it won't be long before the snowbirds leave and you could be a snowbird my dear Jo also. Which means you come enjoy our fab weather and leave before it gets too hot - which most birds leave when the highs are in the 100's. Your work won't mind will they?heartwerk <jo.heartwork wrote: I guess I am lucky to have had a longish break over Christmas and the New Year, but it seems to have gone really quickly.
