How can you give those up - well, okay, to your daughter - I know what that's like! My daughter phoned tonight from Georgia to ask me where her polling place was to vote. As you do, rather than look in the local phone directory. Her excuse was she just moved into a new apartment and didn't have a phone book, or her computer hooked up. :)paris parfaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457437124988976587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-42034302574737180052008-02-04T21:36:00.000-08:002008-02-04T21:36:00.000-08:00By an amazing coincidence, Mike is the former mast...By an amazing coincidence, Mike is the former master distiller of Lagavulin.

There were a couple of snow storms over Christmas and in January, but not enough for me to regret leaving the snow shovel in Canada! However, the hoar frost stayed on the trees for a long time and made for some very pretty views. Ice on the roads was not fun though, especially since here many roads are narrow and very very steep - think of a rollercoaster! Luckily we live at the bottom of the hill, but I often observed cars trying to get past our house but failing miserably. <BR/>I was just thinking today that, although it is cool nowadays(maybe 6C during the day), it just doesn't feel like winter. Mind you, I am not complaining - we moved here from Ottawa and I can do without shovelling the driveway only for the snow plough to throw the snow back in my face, metaphorically if not literally!
