Saturday here and the master plan is to go and watch the F.A. Cup final them barbeque!!!!!. The weather looks nice, but even if it turns nasty, the BBQ will carry on regardless. For those of you who are not familiar with the climate in my neck of the woods, here is a little comparison exercise.....

LOL, well I love Scotland, been to Edinburg and its the greatest city in the world... but I'm in Iceland so here:

--------------------
You know you are from Iceland when...


Snow tires come standard on all your cars.

You have gotten frostbitten and sunburned in the same week.

You learned to drive a tractor before the training wheels were
off your bike.

Down South to you means Canada.

Birds chirping at 3am in July is normal.

You have a passport to leave the island.

Your idea of creative landscaping is a tree.

Wearing high heels and a skirt, and going out dancing is "normal"
during a hurricane.

You were unaware there is a legal drinking age.

You decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a
weekend.

You enjoy driving in the winter because the potholes fill in
with snow.

Your sexy lingerie is tube socks and a flannel nightie

At times, your second floor balcony doubles as a front door.

You find 0 degrees a little chilly

You actually understand these jokes

LOL I'll try never to complain about the weather in Ohio again!

Thanks, Mouse, I enjoyed that a lot!!! And Row Firecam, just read yours too, what a hoot!! Thanks to you too!

And todays plans are: open the windows, breath some fresh air, make mac salad, get a shower, go to church for a friends renewal of wedding vows, go to reception and eat, come back home, breath some more air, check in at the forum, watch some TV, go to bed early to be fresh for church and Bible school in the morning! Happy day to everyone!
