I hope it brings a lot of warm air into Holland, Friday till Monday. After that it can go back to normal.

We have two sources of water.
Boreholes, the water of which last saw the light of day when dinosaurs were walking in it. Apparently they have no idea of the residual capacity.

Surface water from resevoirs, the local ones are said to be full to capacity.

Then of course the muted water transfer from Cumbria to London will have to come past here, so we can always get a top up, but my grand kids will have shuffled off their mortal coils before its finished.

Visiting the bulb fields? Or Floriade? Or both?
Anyway the forecast is for a bit warmer (12-13C) and high chance (70-80%) of showers, so pack something waterproof!

Or was it just coincidence that 2, yes 2 Pentax users were in Whitby at the same time?
I was disguised as a Canon user.

Thanks for the wx forecast, I'm sure they'll be sun showers
Arrive Friday then on to Keukenhof then to Valkenburg to the hotel. Saturday wander around Valkenburg. Sunday Floriade. Monday Amsterdam and ferry home in the evening. By the look of the forecast think camera will be K7 and 18 - 135mm. WR Mrs Snap can carry the umbrella

Because for some people one is too many and three is not enough do you think the supermarkets etc will be forced to hide it from view like cigarettes.

I hope not

I was just thinking that if there's a water shortage and the government don't want us to drink beer and winewhat are we to drink?

Whisky?

Gin?

Or just tea?

Isn't there a song giving instructions of what to do in such cases, went along the lines of:

In days of old
When men were bold
... etc etc etc

What's so special about a pair of 1953 underpants that someone

Were these behind/cause of the early 1950's baby boom!!

For just about anything you can possibly think of, someone, or something, holds a world record! Be it from the most cornflakes eaten whilst reading a morning paper on a tuesday between 7am and noon, or the most times a bald person has been to church when it is raining - the list must be endless?
Just occured to me for no reason.
