Thought that was the reason for the knives. Self defence.

A dive knife is a shark defense device. When the shark becomes an issue, you stab your buddy and make a beeline out of there. This will not work if you are just "SOBs"

A good friend of my wife came around this evening to give me a 2 hour massage (she's fully qualified). It's been over a year - I'd forgotten how much it hurt (or maybe it's my age).

It appears that the Mayor of London is taking knives out of that realm.

An excellent idea - remove anything sharp from everyone's home - then burglers can stab 78 year old men with screwdrivers and get clean away with it. Saves all that time arresting the old guy and treating him like a criminal for attempting to protect his disabled wife his property and himself

We worked out how she could get her axe with her, save buying a new one when she went down under.

Mid-April, and it’s snowing. It’s supposed to be 67 F (20 C) on Thursday. Typical April in Michigan.

I think we have turned the corner here although it was dull and raining yesterday - the temperature is right up to 16 C (around 60 F) which is perfect for me as I hate heat.

 

[Yorky]

I'm not sure what the temperature was here last night but I had neither the fan nor the aircon running - and I wore a shirt in bed. Now it's 37 degC!

And it's snowing here.

And I always wear a shirt to bed.

The forecast is 37/38 degC for Thirstday/Friday (Songkhran) which is about right.

We had a thread a while ago about clothes members wear in bed. It was quite interesting... and one might say 'revealing'. I'll try to revive it as I since found out some interesting facts regarding this.

Back to the rain and it's cold again

 

[Lullabelle]

It has been persistently raining since Saturday, only stopped a couple of hours ago. Cold dark and wet, feels like we are going into winter instead of spring.
