Kell Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 Well, go ahead and ask me some questions, Wrath. Quote
wrathofkublakhan Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Well, go ahead and ask me some questions, Wrath. <stammers> Well .... uh .... do you like -- cheese? Quote
Kell Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 I like some cheeses, Wrath. A good strong Cheddar, or some creamy Lancashire or Cheshire, I also enjoy a bit of feta. I do not like Gouda or Edam at all though, and blue cheeses or stinky, runny ones are right out! Quote
Purple Poppy Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Just popped into add my two pennies worth. A) Aberdeen is a great place. Beautiful! One of the loveliest cities I have ever been in. As most of the architechture is Granite or sandstone, it's stunning. I can never get over the variety of designs for the granite work, even amongst all the surburban housing. Just wonderful. The bigger houses go the full hog and often resemble gothic palaces. Very fairytale. As kell says, there are lots of wide open spaces and the country , wherever you are in the city is only ever a couple of minutes away. And what country! Stunning! Beautiful, through flatter meadows and agricultural land in the east, along the coastal plains, but get to Huntly and it all changes, hills and mini mountains. On sunny days and snowy days, nothing can compare. And going through some of the woodland routes in Deeside after a fresh snowfall...well, I had never seen anything so beautiful. Real fairytale stuff. I have found my home, having like Kell, lived in other places, (Home Counties and Geordieland). I would not want to be anywhere else! Aberdeen is fantastic. (I believe the night life is pretty cool too;)). Kell is a great person...just to reiterate what Inver said (and she is very nice too!). Kell has been a friend to treasure from the first day I met her, and I am very fond of her. (you are allowed to blush Kell). Pp Quote
Kell Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 I'm blushing like mad now, PP! Thank you - you're a honey too. Quote
Oblomov Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 If anyone hase any questions, please feel free to ask... My life is an open book! OK, I have just one question: Why do you call Dale "Mount TBR"??? Quote
Oblomov Posted September 3, 2007 Posted September 3, 2007 Behave! She did say that her life was an open book..... Quote
Kell Posted September 3, 2007 Author Posted September 3, 2007 OK, I have just one question: Why do you call Dale "Mount TBR"???:lol:I don't - I call him hubby or Dale. I call my mountainous pile of unread books Mount TBR (To-Be-Read). But I'm guessing you knew that. Quote
michael Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Hi Kell, my folks live on the West Coast, Loch Torridon so I know Inverness well, but have only been to Aberdeen once...to the Hyperbaric centre...part of the hospital complex, for decompressing north sea divers. You get it cold, west coast gets it wet? Quote
Kell Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 Hi Michael - I work just up the road from the Hyperbaric Centre, at Woodhill House! We've actually been getting some beautiful weather over the last week or so (there's been a bit of rain and dullness in some of the mornings, but the days have brightened up in the afternoons, and today was gorgeous!). We do get a fair bit of cold and rain here, but we do also get a fair bit of sunshine - even when it's cold! According to some sources, Aberdeen gets more hours of sunshine per annum than anywhere else in the country! I'm not sure if I'd go as far as that, but we do get a lot of days where the sunshine sparkles on the granite and it's beautiful - even Torry can look gorgeous when a sunset hits it. If you're ever going to be in Aberdeen again, gimme a shout - I'm always up for meeting members for coffee. Quote
roddglenn Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Hi, Kell or should I say your maaaaam! Quote
Kell Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 "Your Ladyship" will do fine,thank you, Rod! Actually, this Xmas I got a National Heritage mug with "Her Ladyship" and a gold crown on it. I use it all the time! Quote
Guest ii Posted February 1, 2008 Posted February 1, 2008 How very oxymoronic. And totally chic. Quote
Icecream Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Yes Kell you need to change it. Having said that, there is a similar list on here somewhere about me, which states I have no children. I now have two:mrgreen: Quote
Kell Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 LOL - I guess things changed unexpectedly and I forgot to update - I'll make the change now. Quote
Child.of.God.1989 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Kell, congratulations on your recent arrival! He still must be so tiny. I was delighted to read his name, because my oldest sister is your age AND she just had her second child Xander last August. You never fail to add some wit to a discussion and, more often, well-thought-out opinions and reflections. I hope you still have time to read! Quote
Kell Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 Thank you, CoG! He still looks small, but he's getting very heavy now - I'm taking him to get weighed tomorrow and I fully expect him to top 12lbs! There are some phptos in my profile of Xander - he's gorgeous, if I say so myself! Quote
Kell Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Updated to reflect another arrival and a move to England. Quote
