New place, new chronicles will start the next year.

By waiting 2016, as every end of year, the free I Ching session is opened from today until January 5th. What could you expect for 2016 ? :ymparty:

Snails are 500% better in a plate with garlic and butter ;)

Merry Yuletide :ymhug: Happy Christmas :x

Please may I have a forecast :D

Will it snow in South East England this winter?

What does my future hold?

Will I be rich and famous?

Will I publish my latest work?

Will I continue to lose weight?

Will I find a new toyboy who can cook?

Will Kurdistan become independent?

We eat also winkles, as many other shells. That's good but you need 4 hours before finishing a whole plate.

They must be good for a diet because one would burn far more calories trying to get them out of their shell, than one would gain from eating them =))

It seems that snow could fell everywhere in Kurdistan, except on Duhok. Since yesterday, typical New Year weather : tempest of wind and rain, not very cold, as if we were not far from an ocean.

Special Duhoki climate : even on January 1st, I have to fight with a mosquito in my bedroom. 8-}

We had a think frost last night but back to the wind and rain for the next few days :((

If I believe the predictions on line, snow is for tomorrow, but I am doubtful.

Now, the rain stopped and the wind fall.
