[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 123542, member: 1991"] I thought the movie was made in Pennsylvania... G'day dreamer, happy Groundhog Day! I hope the snow waits until after you've got back home from your errands. We had a damp morning, I ran my errands down the road with hot humid weather but rain clouds looming. On the way down to the shops I found some signs shoved in a drain, signs belonging to our resident greenie ratbag (and friend of mine) so I dragged them out and took them to him. He's getting hassled by local kids; he does annoy people in his zeal, he's even shouted at me once, for apparently promoting cola drinks (in one of my stories, published in the local paper). He used to be infamous for putting graffiti on certain billboards, especially those advertising cigarettes or alcohol. Clever graffiti, his way of protesting. On the way back from the shops I had more chance to chat with him - and got rained on while we talked. Nothing heavy, more like humidity condensing out. Refreshing, but not enough of it. Later in the afternoon the sky cleared a bit more so difficult child 3 & I went for a swim. The water was lovely - not too warm, just cool enough to be refreshing. But the salinity must be high - I could float around, head fully out of the water, without needing to paddle hands or feet. A few other people noticed the same thing. I'm hoping it stays fine enough tomorrow to take husband down for a swim also, to make up for the water being cold last week when we went together. They've forecast showers, but so what? They forecast showers today, too, and we didn't get anything measurable. I made a shell pendant for difficult child 3 this evening - I just threaded some cord through a shell I collected this afternoon. We have a little gastropod here called an oyster borer, it drills neat holes in bivalve shells right on the hinge so it's almost ready-made jewellery. The long-range forecast indicates we'll have summer for another couple of months yet. I hope you get your break in the winter soon - I gather a lot of you are getting fed up with snow by now. I live for summer - I'll miss it when it goes. But our winters are very mild here so I can't complain too much. Enjoy your day today. Marg [/QUOTE]
