Good morning right back at ya!
First, for Lil, so many thoughts and well wishes and good things and prayers (take your pick) are being wished your way this morning, for heat and a return of much warmth! The only thing I worry for (because you have blessedly good common sense, and obviously won't let you and yours freeze out there!), is whether your pipes might burst. I'm shocked it's taken the 'emergency' people this long, but I suppose bitching on my end won't do a damn thing, so I won't. Just... *hugs tight*
Second, congratulations Heroes! *cheers* 3rd place is still great, bronze-medal worthy with a big grin!
Third, oh yes, much adoration for my peeps letting their nerd flags fly! *fist bumps all around* Yes, even in (or perhaps especially in?) Sweden, where nerding is so common, apparently there's only gradations of nerds now. For what it's worth Hellis a young lady nerd of my most precious acquaintance has been holding out hope for some time, for the men of United Scandiland (as you so eloquently put it once), because she's also tall [by American standards], and longs to know what it's like to be a 'petite' woman in someone's eyes! Add to this the inherent nerdiness factor,
and Viking ancestry? Oh, I imagine she's buying a plane ticket right this very moment!
And hmm... Obviously Lil's got hella lot more things on her mind than internet breakfast for everyone, so... *sets some boxes down in the middle of our table* So sorry, but when you're all stuck with me, it's pastry day, because I'm a terrible cook. So here you all go, help yourselves to bear claws and apple fritters, half-moon cookies (the big softy kind!) and
conchas and eclairs and of course most every type of handmade, hand-dipped donut you could want.
With sprinkles. Of course.
I'll let Heroes get the coffee - he's far better than I with the coffee to be honest, and the tea.
