You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

morning, msbelle!

it's a question of acquiring them, and then what do you do with them when the gas does come back on?

Yeah, I figured it's something like that. And heating water is probably still problematic, as well. I don't know much about NO winters, but I imagine what's going on in the very mild winters we have here, and they definitely take heating and hot water.

I can't imagine how the people in China are getting along now without runnign water. I'm so used to the modern-life advantages.

some stuff is working, some stuff is not.

Well, at least some stuff is working. Not that it helps the people who fell on the "not working" side.

And in a completely different topic: what are you going to sing in the concert next week?

Christmas music. And then more Christmas music. Followed by a lovely bit of Christmas music. Big moneymaker for the Symphony, so we're doing six concerts. By number six, all of the performers will be punchy and thoroughly sick of the music.

Is it the same as what everywhere will be playing, or will you at least have some variety from the regular (and by that I mean "songs that even I can recognize because there's occasionally Christmas on my tv screen")?

There's a little variety. Less so than in previous years. I think it's the fate of any choral singer to get sick of Christmas music every once in a while. But hopefully the concerts will be fun.

Shower time, I think. It was lovely talking to you, Nilly, and thanks for your concern about my family.

Timelies, morning shift!

We are sick here too, but I haven't been anywhere around sarameg or Cass. Actually, I feel fine except that I am incredibly congested and sound freakish when I talk. Ellie has her first ear infection, which has been making her sad but i think she's on the mend.

It's raining out and all the leaves are plastered to the ground. I like the rain but I wouldn't mind some sun about now.

It was lovely to get to post with you, Dana.

Timelies, vw. Also, did you get my e-mail from yesterday?

I did! I even responded about 10 minutes ago. Thank you SO much. It is incredibly helpful.

Your tag here.

I'm not sick, but I think all of the talk is inducing psychosomatic symptoms. I can call in to work for that, right?

Hi Nilly! I'm so bad at posting in Natter. I usually follow along but rarely post. It's good to post with you!
