We gorra bit of snow here in Dublin, about 4 inches, and there’s a lot more to come including a blizzard, the government has issued a red alert and advised everyone to stay indoors after 4pm tomorrow. The weekly state pension will be paid tomorrow morning instead of Friday and the fuel allowance will be doubled for the week thats in it. All schools are closed as are government departments, no busses, no post, and no luas trams, Dublin will be a ghost town tomorrow.Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
ah the lovely winter of '63 heh - I had left home for the first time and last - and was workin darn seth in 'ampshire with the 'ampshire hogs. I was also walkin out with a Ja -mai -can girl and it was here first winter in UK - but one amazing transformation among many others I can recall vividly was seeing her beautiful brown skin - starting from the lips turn blue/purple - it was a strange experience - so I had to keep her warm somehow and quickly - well that's another taleRe: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
