Throwing caution to the wind, as it's Christmas, and I've opened up the woodburner to get the house to a sauna-like 18.4C this evening, and haven't yet had to use any 'lectric heating. Probably just as well, given the local nuke is all wobbly.0

1) My Christmas lunch was still hot two hours after cooking and packing it
2) The Ventoux white wine was really quite pleasant
3) The lunchtime view was really quite nice
4) I didn't meet a single soul in four hours of walking

Highly amusing Holland’s latest speed skating superstar, who is breaking records all over the place and winning anything and everything spends a lot of her time modelling and being a social media model.
Puts on a full on face of makeup, has immaculate hair and the second she crosses the line out it comes for the photos.
Speed skating crowd really not into the whole being good looking and caring vibe and she’s busy smashing every competitor and earning €7,000 per IG post with millions of followers.

Recently did a high profile interview explaining that she has recently been eating more to put on a bit more fat as she’s much faster that way and mentally better for her.

It will highlight those speed skater’s thighs. If asked to name her sport from that photo it would have been a choice between speed skating, skiing or cycling track sprinterbriantrumpet said:pblakeney said:

Ironically the car in that pic is only average length and a fair bit lower than most cars. So its not actually very big.surrey_commuter said:"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
