Army Thread - Friday, 22nd July

[Recluse]

Good morning troopers, :hallo:

Happy Friday to you all , except if your name is Mario in which case happy Saturday.

Zenny - hope you're feeling better when you wake up.

Molly - that's awful what happened to your kitchen. Hope it is covered by your insurance.

Tips - that's good news about your car. Pleased for you.

Inchy - ditto what molly said yesterday. You're not a f*ck up at all. I am constantly amazed at how mature and impressive you are for one so young. Please keep posting. On a separate note, I think it is good for the army to have members from all parts of the age spectrum.

Stirly - yes, I've got appointments coming out of my ears - three this week and that partially explains why my posts have been infrequent lately. My stress levels shoot up as a result of, or in anticipation of these appointments and of course I start drinking in order to calm myself down. Never had so much attention in my life though, and it's kind of nice!

Well, it's still nearly dark here, so I can't give you a full weather report, but there aren't any stars about so I reckon it must be cloudy.

Hiya zenny - sorry you are feeling so shite.

As for talking about bad movies - I think I'll pass on that one, thanks! I have great difficulty sitting still for long enough to watch a movie, so it has to be a really absorbing one with a good cast for me to be interested. I do like films with Susan Sarandon in them, though.

Zenners: I hope you're in la-la land by now and will wake up feeling better.

Morning tips

How're you today? I was just thinking, it must be pretty much the middle of winter where you are now. What's the weather like down there?

You're right Reccie - it is the middle of winter, but one wouldn't say so. It's been unseasonably warm and dry. We haven't had any rain in over two weeks, and none predicted for the next week. Daytime temperatures have been in the region of 18 - 22C. It doesn't bode well for our fruit export industry, though. The trees think it's spring and blossom earlier. Any cold snap thereafter makes the blossoms drop resulting in smaller crops (and smaller fruit only suitable for the local market).

Expect to see less South African produce in Friggintesco & M&S.

Blimey, 18-22C is about what we're getting here and it's the middle of our summer.

The mornings are rather cold - around 6C.

And you live in a miserable country, weather-wise. :new:

Morning Reccie, Zen, Tips and everyone else to come
Yeppers Rec-that's about all we are getting too. I actually wore a coat to work yesterday.Seems more like November-we are not getting out of the teens and it's grey and drizzle. Oh well.
I work all day-and then the weekend-freedom! Don't know what we are doing yet. Definitely something inside though. Maybe the aquarium in Paris. We have never been and it's supposed to be pretty cool.
Hope everybody has a happy positive Friday-xxx

Morning, Expattie

We have a birthday brunch to go to tomorrow. Will also try to see the Harry Potter movie - the cubs have been nagging endlessly, telling us that all their mates have been already.
