Beautiful day here. high expected 57 F. Now its 42 F. Got to get my shower and head out. Going to work out in the pool today ☺

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

49 degrees. Looks misty, sun hasn't broken through, but not sure it will rain.

[Carol]

Damp, rainy, cold day here. At least it's January, not November! Not long to Spring now!

[Lizzie]

Its sunny here, but I imagine its gonna be freezing.

[Jonel]

it looks gorgeous out here as well, but since it's supposed to have been -22 last night, I'm a little scared to go outside

I should imagine that every part of you needs to be covered in that sort of temperature or you would get frost bite.

[Lizzie]

It rained heavily last night.

It definitely makes for an interesting day, I"ll say that.

[Lizzie]

Its not too bad outside. Wearing gloves does help though.

[Janeiowa]

72 degrees, sunny and wonderful today on the Gulf of Mexico.

[Lizzie]

Is anyone from the UK watching Wolf Hall on BBC 2?.

[Carol]

Yes, I saw it last night. Have not read the book, so was interested to see it. What did you think, Lizzie?
I enjoyed it, but found it very slow-moving. I kept wanting Thomas Cromwell to be a bit more dynamic! He seemed very 'laid-back' even when his wife and daughters suddenly died.
I liked the historical aspect of it, although it all looked rather sparklingly clean and beautiful.
Damian Lewis, always one of my favorites, looked very handsome as Henry.

[Carol]

Cold and grey here today. Keep over-eating because of the weather. Hopefully it will warm up soon, or I will be enormous.

[Abigail]

So the faire is this weekend and it's supposed to rain tomorrow. I hate wet faires. Though we do get a bigger audience when it rains. ;)

Well, I hope all you chess people don't get too wet.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

40 degrees F here... 41 where I'm thinking of moving.

[Carol]

Starting to long for warm weather! Had enough of Winter!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

27 F but high expected is 54 F.

We have had a mild winter so far. Unfortunately the persimmons had a different story and promise a bad one. So either they were wrong or something is coming.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

43 F - crisp and clear here. 54 F where I'm thinking of moving.

[Carol]

It seems to be getting hotter and hotter where you are thinking of moving. Hope you will be near a swimming pool!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I think the pool should be a deciding factor! lol

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Actually, it trends slightly cooler there, overall. But, yes, a pool would be wonderful! ☺

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

indoor pool?

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

That would be a dream, Pamela.

[Carol]

I read somewhere that Bill Gates has a stream running through his living room! That seems really weird to me.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I want a hot tub in my living room! lol

[Carol]

Talking about hot tubs etc. our society is much more affluent these days than it was when I was very young. We had a tin bath in front of the fire for baths, no running water in the house, and an outside lavatory.
When I was 16, I visited the home of a French family in the countryside. The lavatory was just a hole in the ground in the garden with a wooden seat over it. There was no water in the house, it came from a well, and when you had used a bowl of water you just threw it out of the window!

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

I am very thankful for indoor plumbing!

[Carol]

Yes, thank goodness!

[Abigail]

First weekend of faire over and I have sore feet and a dry throat. Five days to recover before I get to do it again!

[Carol]

Hi everyone. Saw the snow in Connecticut on Skype yesterday. Hope the threatened storm isn't too bad. It's warmed up here a bit, but Arctic conditions are said to be coming here for 3 weeks.

[Carol]

Holocaust Memorial Day today. So much sadness in the world, then and now.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Carol wrote: "Holocaust Memorial Day today. So much sadness in the world, then and now."

Yes. I hate how some people try to pretend it never happened. We need to learn from the past.

[Jordan]

Hi friends,

I saw a video today for Holocaust Memorial Day of survivors returning to Auschwitz 70 years later. Positively heart wrenching.

[Pamela(AllHoney), Fairy Godmother]

Thanks for sharing, Jordan. I can't imagine how they must have felt being there again.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Thanks, Jordan.

[Carol]

Hi everyone. Sunny here today, but very cold weather expected shortly. (Not as cold as your's in the NE though).

[Janeiowa]

What's a good site to find the various pen names popular authors use?

I know the well-known ones like Nora Robers / JD Robb and according to Wikipedia she also writes as Jill March and Sarah Hardesty

and recently learned of Bella Andre /Lucy Kevin / Bella Riley

Is there a site that tracks these?

[Phoenix (Online Elf)]

Jane, this might help. Or this one.

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Clear and sunny at 50 degree F here. 46 degrees F where I'm thinking of moving.

I don't know. Sorry. But Fantastic Fiction lists pen names for their authors. http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/

[Janeiowa]

Thanks!

[Lisa Kay, Tinker Bell]

Nice, Pamela!

[Carol]

Snow was forecast, but there is only a light rain this morning.
The saying is that 'you look like the food you eat!'. Eating fish and chips yet again today, so oh dear!

[Carol]

Hi everyone. Cold here. Catching up on reading today in front of the fire.

Sounds great to me!

[Abigail]

My singing group performed in a bar last night and today I'm all scratchy from the smoke. It's going to be a fun day at the faire!

[Lizzie]

I hope it doesn't snow here

[Carol]

I agree Lizzie. It's a nuisance when it snows here, as we're not equipped to deal with it properly, as we have it quite rarely and so not much money is allocated to clearing it and making it safe. Also, on a personal level, I don't possess the proper boots for it etc. for the same reason, as just mentioned, that we so rarely need that sort of thing.

[Lizzie]

Luckly it didn't snow. Just rained heavily which sucks also :lol.
