Rain, rain, rain.
Wind
Snow further north.
Storm Elena is in full force
But no leaking tiles this time. Cross fingers, spit 3 times and shake it all about

ReplyDeleteOh boy! You need a drink
DeleteSo many storms!
ReplyDeleteLove that meme 😄
Isn't she gorgeous
DeleteI nearly wished you a happy big fat Greek Christmas yesterday but opted for discretion (unsure how the big fat bit is received by real Greeks)🤣. Good thing there are no roof leaks and everyone us sated. Now for the Leftovers....at least you don't have to face turkey meat for a week.
ReplyDeleteYeh, we have a week of pork instead. We are all a bit fatter I think. Hopefully the sun will come out soon and I'll get some exercise
DeleteI resemble that picture lol. I will cross all fingers that you do not get any leaks.
ReplyDeleteBoxing day was extremely hot. Lots of fires are now raging out of control. Thankfully today is much cooler.
I saw there are wild fires again. Damn.
DeleteHopefully the storm has passed with no leaks.
ReplyDeleteNo leaks at all!
Deletelol I have a daughter in law who looks…..just like that (even has the extra chin).
ReplyDeleteSo much cooler today - and as Angela mentioned out of control fires in other parts of the state. Places that were burnt out this time last year 🙁
Anniversaries…..50yrs since Cyclone Tracy 1974 - 20yrs since the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004
We have been watching memorials for the tsunami. So many people died. Horrific
DeleteI love your chubby Mona Lisa.
ReplyDeleteIsn't she a beauty . Just the way I feel still
