They also said it would be a Barbie summer, if you didnt mind standing in a few feet of water

It was a Barbie summer. My granddaughter had her birthday in summer and got two Barbies. And some Polly Pockets.

Sorry miss spelling, should have said "Barber" as I did not take mine off all summer

Ended up spending the night in Girona airport then having to get a flight to East Midlands airport then make my way back down to Gatwick. It was either that or wait three more days in the airport for a flight to Gatwick, with only â‚¬50 left..

Skydiving in Spain was worth it though!

My wife is happy, she says it is the first time she has seen 6 inches.

So to answer your question, winter brought me a warm smug feeling!!

Oh I must have been mistaken about Die Bahn failing, Autobahns blocked with snow, planes careering off runways (if they were open) and Germany almost running out of gritting supplies.

I'm having trouble keeping up with it all. Nothing new there, mind.

I am a death walt. Or a walt walt; my only attempt at outing a walt ended in ignim...ignition...agronomy...badly.
