Nah, Blue, we're basking in sunshine all the time. Wear our flip flops year round. Hell yes, it gets cold here. Let me tell you about the time my dog's water bowl froze. In the kitchen. Really! Swear to god!Does it even get that cold where you are?
But yes, I'm well aware that some places get colder and have worse weather and a really odd definition of warm.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

Here's the thing about winter in warmer climes...sometimes it seems like the people who build houses there have that Torontonian view of, "Oh, it never really gets that cold here. Therefore, insulation and heating systems are a waste of time." And they're not, they're really not.mood swung wrote:Nah, Blue, we're basking in sunshine all the time. Wear our flip flops year round.

It's this thing of banwidth and servers and stuff not responding. You click submit, it freezes. You try again, it tells you 'you can not submit another post so soon after the last one' which indicates it had already posted and has now done it twice. I normally then remember to delete number 2, but missed this time. I'm not trying to catch up your tally, honest (though it's a welcome by-product!).

Otis, even though it may seem like it takes a bit longer, try not to click submit again unless you know for sure that it didn't go through. Doc tells me that clicking twice actually makes things worse and it takes longer, not to mention the double posting thing.
We've taken in an enormous amount of space by housing JohnE's site and have upgraded equipment and invested time and money to make space for everyone. This all should be settling out soon.
But for you impatient ones, resist the urge to click more than once!

Sorry, will behave. Didn't mean to sound impatient, and I've been the very soul of politeness and gratitude on the relevant thread. You know how it is when something has been restored to normality and then seems to be suffering again...

Mrs VG and I went out for a 7 mile walk yesterday in the Kent sunshine. It was glorious weather and the only two people we bumped into were a couple walking their dog.
On another note, Mrs VG started her new job today and 'phoned me at lunchtime. I was mightily relieved to find out she was just calling to say hello and not to say she'd been sacked or resigned

Sounds like an excuse to go shopping MDM!
As far as fondue is concerned I can't say it's ever appealed to me. I am reminded of a wedding I once went to when the bride and groom asked for a fondue set. I asked the bride about it and she said she didn't know what it was but everybody seemed to have one!
I am fed up with business meetings and having to travel. I've got a meeting tomorrow which is 180 miles each way, another meeting on Thursday afternoon, meetings in London on Friday and Monday and I'm at another meeting which is 130 miles away on Thursday week. And in between that I may have to slot in another meeting. I'm also on a three day/two night stopover at the beginning of November.
BUT I am going on holiday on 12th November for 2 weeks and cannot wait.

But the traditional recipe is Swiss, non? Emmental and Gruyère, widely available (okay, they're pasteurized when imported, but in a recipe where you're heating up the cheese I hardly think that matters). What do you use in the French recipe? Raclette? And what wine. Do tell!
