That sounds a great soup. Just don't dip your Eccles cake in it.
I've not done much today other than throw money down the drain...
Yikes! Hope they've left you enough for a few pints and a pie tomorrow my friend 
After the dress-rehearsal, I hope you have a great Lancashire Day 
So that's what black puddings are good for!Just a couple of hours to go, then all the Lancastrians will be hitting each other with black puddings and clog dancing and what-not!
I suppose you have no need for snow shovels there either?
Snow shovels? If we get an inch of snow, the whole city shuts down. We all go outside and stare at it until it melts.Well good for you Vince.
Will do!
Saw snow for a day or so each time in 1967, 2004 (Christmas Eve!), and 2017. But no, I have no snow shovels!Well good for you Vince.
The most snow I ever saw was on a short trip to Pennsylvania around Christmas 1987. Snow past my knees in some places! Not moving there.Snow shovels? If we get an inch of snow, the whole city shuts down. We all go outside and stare at it until it melts.
Will do!

Thank you. The family will start arriving tomorrow, and there will be general chaos around here until Sunday. It's always a wonderful visit, lots of fun, but exhausting. It's hard for me to imagine how my brothers and I actually lived together for the first 17 years of my life.
I know the feeling! Have a fab time 
Wow, that's scary.
Yeah, snow is fun to play in when it's a rare occurrence. I wouldn't want to deal with it all winter.
Ha!Yes, they have their own traditional martial art, Ecky Thump!
LOL!
Here the whole country shuts down!
You are ruining everyone's image of all Californians living on the beach.It's snowing. It's like this here at the house...
They can keep & enjoy all of the snow! I’ll stick with relatively warm weather & mostly sunny skies!You are ruining everyone's image of all Californians living on the beach.

Koll is all sharpened up and ready for turkey!
Koll is looking good Rachel Received a special package in the mail today! Thank you,
Poor thing was sitting in the mailbox freezing all day... Had to go right in the pocket to warm up.
Well, it's after midnight "over there," so Happy Lancashire Day, Guardians!
My four lambsfoots with a recent visitor, Linus.
I don't have English fare to celebrate with, but I'll have a Whataburger with "chips" for lunch tomorrow, and will toast with some scotch (it's British, anyway!) in the evening.
So far, my celebrations have been limited to texting greetings to my mate's Boltonian missus, and a trip to the Jam Butty Mines for breakfast, but I'm there with you in spirit mate!
