That's funny; means I'm the only one with a clear head at nine in the morning, when having a conversation with an US-citizen?

I think we're 6 hours later than in the US, but I keep confusing it myself, as you have different timezones in your country and we have winter-time and summer-time, in which the clock is set one hour back or forth.
I, and with me a millions of people, never know what. We just wait for the newspaper to tell us wether to move the clock fore-or backwards.

Good morning to you. Here it is 12.59 o'clock.
In my cup: the Arabica-coffee I poured myself at 7.00 and now is cold.

1. I don't have to worry about driving in to work on icy roads anymore.

2. I just had a colorful lunch that pleased my eye so much -- yellow rice, bright green snow peas, red tomatoes, red peppers.

3. I found my old iPod nano that's been missing for months. It was stuck down into a box of q-tips (??) and shoved up under a chair. Apparently I put it in there to avoid putting it on the floor or something, who knows? Anyway, it's charging now!

Good for you, Betty.

My adventures:
1.I didn't fall in the snow on my bike
2.I had a glass of glühwein when I came in from the cold
3.My coffee is still hot.

1. We watched the storm on radar until it looked to be passing SouthEast of us.
2. We rode our treadlies ALMOST to the cafe spending twenty minutes under a bridge getting soaked with horizontal windy rain strong enough to blow our bikes away because the storm did a U-turn and clobbered us.
3. We sat in the cafe soaked through wringing out our sox whilst waiting for our lovely lunch to come. The coffee was good.

oh oh ! Three more good things that happened yesterday. It was a very exciting day.

1. We made it home before the next storm hit. (lucky because there was hail this time)

The powerline around the corner took a direct hit with lightning and came down 3pm. No electricity and lotsa rain/hail
2. because of the rain I rang the gym to see if BB class was on and they had power. Which they did. So I drove the car to the gym (because of the rain). Bugga no power = no traffic lights and I had to make two turns across peak hour traffic with the rain pelting down. Cops were driving through the non-lit intersections, but none stayed to direct the traffic.
3. Cooked dinner (because we have a gas stove) and ate in the candlelight. Power came on 9pm for 40 minutes before going off again. (And I was just getting interested in the movie about Peter Sellers). Then power came on and stayed on and I went to bed.

What a very good day.
