Here's my oldrocker, there's my staff, here's my hood and cloak to hang on the peg by the door. Anyone going to join me on the porch?

Greetings Mark! Hogmanay is a perfect time to shake open this thread. How have you been? Did Santa find you naughty or nice? (and is there an outdoor heater here?)

Hilde wanders over to the familiar porch, shaking the snow off of her boots. Smiling her hellos she pulls up a low stool, and slowly seats herself while fussing with the knotted bag she has brought with her.

"Cookie anyone?"

Eh? Ah, been waitin' for ya since May... musta fallen asleep.

Much too warm for a heater or a blanket Bethberry.

Hey thanks for the cookie Hilde!

Hilde Bracegirdle · 12-31-2012, 08:23 PM

No wonder it is so warm, with that roaring fire you've got going in the chiminea! I think it is melting the chocolate bits clean out of my cookies!

Can I hide in here for awhile? I don't have the energy to cope with moderating right now, but a nice cookie and a cup of tea with friends who aren't squabbling about the movie would be very pleasant. Thanks for the cookie, Hilde - may I pour you a cuppa?

Bêthberry · 01-01-2013, 09:52 AM

Well, I shall keep my blanket in any case, dear Dawg, as I am feeling quite chilled. But perhaps a cookie will also inspire some warmth, thank you, Hilde. And tea too would be lovely.

Estelyn, do you think we will be busier with this new movie out?

Hilde Bracegirdle · 01-01-2013, 10:55 AM

*Hilde also accepts a cup with gratitude, and stirs it with eyes averted and ears straining as she awaits Esty's reply.

Estelyn Telcontar · 01-01-2013, 04:06 PM

It's hard to say, Bb - we do have a few new members coming in, and certainly the members that have been around longer are discussing a lot on the movie forum. I guess the Hobbit movie just didn't fascinate me enough to compete with real life interests, so I'm not enjoying posting as much as I did 10 years ago.

I'll make some more tea - would you prefer green or Lady Grey?
