What are you doing today?

Just got in from a department drinks evening where we pretty much got pissed, put the world to rights and discussed new products to design that will make our company a €150m a year company. Can’t remember what was said but I drank 8 pints of Staropramen and two double Baileys. Picking my boss up from his hotel at 7.30am and have a Teams meeting at 8am [emoji2359]

Hair of dog beforehand or at least a couple aspirin...

We had a similar day yesterday. Except I had one pint and drove home! I left the rest to it.

Congratulations and many more great times ahead.

A friend swears that making marriage work requires both partners to be willing to meet more than halfway across divides. Might have that right, too!
 
At the moment?

On standby for the 9:50p (EST) high tide. It's 1.1 ft lower than the ass-kicking morning high tide, there's been no rain for 12 hours, and we're getting wind effects from the storm - that's also moved away to the northwest - that will actually reduce the potential for the river to be an issue.

Should be a non-event :)

You got lucky. My brother put his feet out of bed this morning and was immediately up to his calves in water.

....... It can never be warm enough for Mrs AFB though. Her mediterranean blood loves the warmth.

I so sympathize as that is exactly how I feel.

No, there is no such thing as too much heat or warmth.

Not so sure about Mediterranean ancestry, although my father was gorgeously dark (classic olive complexion), - as were many of his family - black hair, dark brown eyed, (and yes, very handsome, too), and he took a tan to a glorious mahogany colour, and, of the three of us, my coloring, or complexion, resembles his to a somewhat greater degree than does that of either of my brothers.

But yes, I love, love, love, heat and warmth and light.....thrill to it, in fact.

It is nice to be back home from Africa. I hope the peace agreement in Ethiopia holds so much needed aid can be delivered to the starving people, so many have died needlessly, almost 500,000.

Glad to see you back safe and sound and I hope things went well while you were away.

Good luck to all my US cousins. Really hope you get the results you need. The world will have their fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you.

Amen to that.

A profound and heartfelt amen.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. Where's he located? Did he get the same with Ian? This storm was massive, affecting both sides, slinging cyclonic effects up into GA and SC while it was still centered in FL.

He’s not far from you, IIRC. We’re not sure about Ian because they were out of the country, but there was no sign of any damage when they got home. (And they would have smelled it!)
 
This apparently got fixed overnight, they were concerned without at the very least, getting some barrier/bulkhead up, the entire road would wash out ...

Daughter's high school is ~6 miles going this direction, otherwise, it's 40 miles :oops:

That was my plan until my boss insisted on paying £50 for a taxi to get me home. I had been insisting on driving for the last couple of weeks. Struggled all day yesterday and had several meetings which was hell [emoji2359]

He offered to put us up for the night, but I decided against it. It was only an hour from home.
