winter wonderland

[lobelia321]

The snow continues. It hasn't snowed anew, or only in tiny flurries, but it must be below freezing (I have not a thermometer) as the snow isn't melting.

The downside: t'h is stranded in Paris with no prospect of any Eurostar trains running till after Christmas. He's now going to try and get the TGV to Calais and thence the ferry. He has 4 days to get here!

So I took t'sons to see Where the wild things are. Or rather, they took me.

And isn't Dilip Kumar a dish? Look at the icon! I've seen him in films before but it was Andaz (1947) that did it for me. Note the absolutely droolsome forelock. And the smouldering eyebrows. God, and the angst that grips him in that film!

For those as haven't got a clue: Dilip Kumar is one of a trio of 1940s/50s/60s male Indian superstars. (The other two are Raj Kapoor - also a dreamboat, and Dev Anand, whom I've not seen in a film, I don't think).

Huh, blamebrampton has to make the same journey, and since the ferries also don't go, they got flights to London! I hope he manages somehow, too.

Well, we tried the flights thing but that seemed totally out of the question. Which flight did blamebrampton manage to book???

I don't know, it cost 250 pounds I think, and she has sparse online time but maybe you can message her. Good night.

ETA: I just asked her in her last post, not sure she'll remain online long enough to have read it though.

Oh no! Hope he manages to get back in time. What a nightmare. :(

I know! It's awful!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Fingers crossed for t'h!

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I know! And here I am loving t'snow. Wrong kind of temperature differentials!

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

I love it too, I must admit.

LJ still doesn't want to email me your comments. It sends me everyone's but yours...

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I haven't looked at emailed comments since 2006. This is how I lose track of things.

Somewhat disorientating news. Sometimes I consider flocking my journal but then I think eh...smart ppl can hack it. Anywayz I stand by my beliefs! :)
Bit of snow last night here too. Sammy-Kitten is in my bed and I haven't the heart to evacuate him to the cold floor.

Oh, just understood 't'h'! Fingers crossed for u guys x

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

Oh, what is the disorienting news? *flails in surfeit of comments and hopelessness at keeping track*

[reading-is-in.livejournal.com]

I meant about the LJ change of management. Sorry did you post that ages ago? It came up looking new. Still navigating my way around here!

I think I heard the BBC say that Eurostar is on again? Hoping for the best!

T'h made it via P&O ferries! However, he had to wait 5 1/2 hours in snow and a tiny barrack without food, drink or a loo, and has made himself sick. But he's here!!
