    Morning. BIg city towers gleaming under a rare big bright blue sky fringed green where bright sun embraces the damp earth of our usually bone dry gardens - can't remember a wet as big as this one it seems to have turned deserts to luxuriant tropical rainforests so far this spring  :)

    Enjoy it while it lasts!

    1 serving of white chocolate kitkat 21g of sugar.

    i think is typo, prolly 21mg.  mg is like 1/10th of a gram, or 1/100th

    m is a roman numeral. dont think g is.

    I think you are self-delusional...maybe you just don't want to believe it because you want to eat it.   laugh   21grams is highly likely for a candy bar!

    There was a lot of that going on at that time.   Bomb sites was playgrounds for kids in many areas after the war ended.  For quite a few years after the war ended for some areas.   This gives you some idea of how many bombs landed on or around London.    http://bombsight.org/#16/51.4729/-0.2914

    Yup. I played in old WWII bomb craters as a kid in the 60s - a lot were still around where I grew up. Is why rosebay willowherb was called bombweed.

     

    Still say 'jolly good' too wink

    Oh  Jolly goog show.    The bit that used to get me when I was very young were the gaps in a row of terraced houses, and the outside walls of the houses each side of the gap would have wall paper on the walls.   I asked my Mum once why they had wallpapered the outside  LOL.  I grew up in NorhtWest kent (which is next door to Sout East London.  A smallish town right on the River.  The river was called bomb alley, as the german planes would follow it into London proper  and drop bombs on the way, just for fun.

    I remember a BBC series from many years ago called Danger UXB, about a team that went around diffusing unexploded bombs, which was a huge problem after the war in England.  One of those aspects of the war they never told us about in school and I only discovered after watching that show.

    Would you believe they are still finding them now on building sites and such.    Anf TangoAlpha  not so far away,  we lived in Erith  My younger brother moved to the Medway area and was one of the founder members of the Medway chapter of the  Renegades MC.

    Unexploded munitions?  I live near the navy yard in Washington, DC.  This area is being redeveloped from industrial to residential, and they had to slow down construction to search for unexploded munitions.  Not dropped or planted by the Germans, just left over trash from the good old days.  LOL.  

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    lol,  kids around where I grew up used to go see if they could find any on the marshes, where they had been using part of it as a testing ground for teh stuff coming out of the Vickers Factory, which amazingly never took a hit.

    Morning. Bliss to get a good night's sleep after what's been an extreme few days, our place is OK we still got a roof and it looks like we only lost a tomato crop that I imagine is somewhere else in Oz or Kansas maybe? Seems a small complaint in the middle of so much weather. Blowing hot and cold right now, hot north wind is gusting pretty fierce andin between you can feel a cool counter-breeze tracking off the bay from the south from time to time which would account for the forecast of cold later on. 

    Glad you're safe and no major damage!

    Hey thanks, we're OK but some suburbs sure are getting trashed :)

    ...pretty windy here as well today.  Windows were rattling since morning.  Had gusts up to 53 MPH here. 75 - 85 mph on the coast.

    All we've been able to do is hang in there, don't know what the electricity situation is we're OK in the city centre but there are power lines down everywhere heading out of twon and is much worse in the more remote areas, the world got real windy all of a sudden :)

    I was trying to figure out if twon was a place that you forgot to capitalize or some Aussie-ism when I realized it was a tpyo of town. Me so stupid. blush

    Finger fatness iz worse on cold mornings :)

    ...woke up to another weather alert this morning, this one about the threat of localised flooding, lightning, and believe it or not, funnel clouds.  There actually was an active tornado watch for most of Western Oregon issued on Saturday and a couple were sighted along the coast.

    I'd rather have a funnel cake warning, at least those are tasty..
