Hi everybody!
I'm taking 2 weeks' holiday today. Looking forward to it. It would be great if some poet members would set up some challenges in Acropolis. It would be a fantastic gesture, considering that we hardly have any active staff at the moment. And by the way, if some members of MM think they would like to belong to the staff, be a moderator, help with comments, etc., then please do PM Eira (Snow), Lori and myself (Psyche), when I return. Of course the few acting staff would consider your offer, because that's how all forums work. All the best to everybody, Syl  ·······  ·······Mis temas favoritos

Hi there, Larry and Daniel,
Thanks for the best wishes and all that. I've been terribly busy getting up to date with stuff. Winter started far too early, and then we had record cold and lots of snow. Then a power outage that lasted 3 days. How much we rely on electricity! No TV, no Internet, nothing. After the first day, I took everything out of my freezer, dug a hole in the snow outside my kitchen, and in it I placed cartons of milk, yoghurts, ravioli, etc. wrapped in plastic bags. Then I covered the hole with plenty of snow. It was a bit of a nuisance getting necessary foods out about twice a day, but there wasn't much else to do...LOL. Fortunately, I had plenty of candles, so I was able to read a lot, as well as retrieving an old notebook where I had written lots of short stories by hand long ago. Surprisingly, I continued to write by hand several more pages. Diana's car couldn't be moved, but her husband's Toyota Hilux truck soon got him down the hillside and we were able to shop. Anyway, more snow is predicted for this week, our maximum temperatures are at about 3 or 4°C, but feel far colder when the wind blows at 30 or 40 kms/per hour. I'm really thinking seriously of returning to that residence where the climate is moderate. Can be hot in summer, but there's always A/C. My fracture has healed perfectly. I've read about Lori's fracture and 2 surgeries on FB. She's been having a hard time, I'm very sorry to say. But with rehab and other help, she's finally gone back to her new job, after a whole year of absence. Her pain is intense. It's around her ankle and foot, so walking is difficult for her. Well, that's all for now. Thanks for your messages, Syl*** ······· ·······Mis temas favoritos
