BIB = PMSL

I would have loved to go and live in Canada
[ but I never thought to mention this to my Vancouver - & V / Canucks supporting B/f ]
but I am not really keen on very cold places
& would hate to live in the Horribly debilitating 24/7 Humidity of Sydney ever again

Could you live somewhere cold and snowy
or somewhere with hellish humidity with thriving Flies & BUGS Galore
and Eye Nuking Monotonous Flesh burning Cancerous Sunshine ??

I increasingly dislike summer with endless BBQ and children screaming outdoors so the idea of living in Denmark or Finland does appeal

Have you visited any Scandinavian countries??

Denmark, and it was lovely, although I visited in July during a heatwave and it was about 30 degrees

Much above 22 degrees is a bit too hot for me.

Most of those were news to me tbh

Have you read either Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn??
ChoccyCarole
23-04-2016
No
There are many good books that I should read

Have you read them ?? and many others which are as well known ??
silentNate
23-04-2016
Read them as a young teenager, can't remember a bloody thing tbh... the language is sadly antiquated

I've read a lot of George Orwell but not much Dickens... you??
twassington
23-04-2016
Lots of both!!

Interesting facts there Choccy!

We've been up to the bluebell woods.....the SCENT! It's just incredible. There must be tens of thousands of them along with starwort, primroses, dandelions etc. Just a carpet of flowers stretching out across the forest floor without end.

I confess quite freely that we danced among the bluebells like a pair of inebriated pixies It was glorious!

How often do you change your undercrackers? More often than West Germans, hopefully
