Let me know if they are not pleased, so I can get on a plane to the UK, drive to their flat, and smack them. That's a nicer kitchen than anyone I ever knew had as a college student.

“But Muuuuuummm, we wanted the Bosch model BSC1048A wall oven, and this one is the BSC1048B wall oven!”

My dad would have said, "I'll buy you any oven you want... when you graduate!"

All the original appliances in the flat are Bosch because that’s what the developer chose. The oven doesn’t appear to have been used once. The flat was in a disgusting state when we bought it, the kitchen a horror but the oven was gleaming, not a spot or crumb anywhere to be seen.

Concierge says they were fresh in from a foreign clime. Which fits because the hob was completely trashed and the ovens untouched. Possibly from a country that doesn’t routinely have an oven in the home.

We’re supposed to get our first significant snow later today, calling for two inches. It’s very windy out right now.

My DIL's parents arrived last night from Caracas. From sunshine and 75F, to overcast and snow!

Yeah, I just heard on the radio the East Coast is getting walloped with rain, something like four inches so far.

That's what hit us last week.

Currently sitting at the pharmacy having an Addison's attack. They don't have my brand of hydrocortisone so they have been ringing around finding a pharmacy that does because I have missed my meds, the tablet holder is empty and the tablet is missing. They've just sent someone to go and collect the correct brand for me, because we can't risk be trying a new brand due to my allergy to dairy protein.

I went to the store a few hours ago. As I drove up the street around the corner from my house, I saw a coyote cross the street in front of me. I haven't seen one in my neighborhood in a long time.
