Morning all...
Tony changed the battery in my thermometer and since then, it doesn't register the temperature! Grrr. I am guessing it is 10 degrees out there but I might be wrong.
One foot of snow is predicted for tomorrow! Clear right now...

Mornin' all (already noon for me)
weather is so dreadful in Germany: 8°C (46°F), rainy, windy, dull, wet and cold. The rain doesn't stop but for ten minutes every now and then. Does someone want to switch? Someone from where it's warm and sunny, mind you ;D. Maybe California or Australia?
Another about children on airplanes, in restaurants, etc: in the end, it all comes down to consiterateness and respect towards others. There are parents who think their offspring is free to do anything, including disturbing and bothering others. But I think they are rare. Mostly I see parents who desperately try to rein their kids and feel embarrassed when they're misbehaving in public. And we all are not immune against inappropriate behaviour of our children, no matter how careful we try to raise them and no matter how well-behaved they usually may be.
Whereas it is debatable, what is acceptable behaviour and what's not.
More often I see adults who are intolerant and unfriendly towards children (and their parents) than I see children who are behaving like brats. There are adults who feel disturbed by the mere fact that there are children around them, not by the actual behaviour of the children. See David's triggering post. To support bans of children from planes, restaurants or other public places is a sign of heavy intolerance to me. Life is what happens outside you four walls. And children belong to it. Get used to it.

Chrissi...I hope the weather is better in two weeks! Sightseeing in the pouring rain is not ideal :(
21 degrees here (-6.1 deg C). The weather guys are wound up about this storm tomorrow! It sounds pretty definite that we'll get snow. The question is, how much?

Hope so, too :-\
But I guess it will. In German, we have a saying: "Wenn Engel reisen, gibt's schönes Wetter."
Literally this would be : When angels are travelling, the weather will be fine. See? The weather will have to be fine ;).

Oh, how lovely! Better than our Maine expression: "Don't like the weather? Wait a minute."
LOL
