I started doing my T13 last week, and then my kids disturbed me before I could finished and I never did get to finished. Life with 5 kids huh?
ReplyDeleteWell I've had enough snow, I know that for certain. Sure it's pretty, but so is grass...remember green grass? lol Happy T13!
ReplyDeleteLovely.

Happy TT!
Great quotes! I wish I lived in a place that has snow!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful quotes & I had never heard any of these before - so nice to read something new!
ReplyDeleteOh, & I see you are in Belgium - we're neighbors...I'm just a short bit away from you in France, just outside of Paris. We had some snow yesterday for about 10 minutes. ;)
Happy TT to you!
laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteI just read last night in my Amsterdam/Belgium book about Waterloo. I never realized that it was a suburb of Brussels! We're thinking of a day trip to Brussels from Amsterdam. Maybe we could meet up for waffles and chocolate!

I love your first quote I was trying not to make dirty jokes when I posted the other day: "they said it was eight inches but we only got four"...
ReplyDeleteHere's my answer to your last at mine:
Being a native German speaker don't you find Dutch-Flemish really easy to understand?... I wanted to move to Amsterdam quite seriously about 18 yrs ago and took up learning Dutch I RACED through the course on the back of all the German I'd done in 5 yrs at school it was so easy. Once you realized the guttural kkkhhhh sound is just a G and the N on -en endings isn't pronounced you can leap ahead... and all those expressions verzekkering/Versicherung etc etc surely I would have thought Dutch would come to you more easily than English which is full of French, Latin and Greek...?~no??
Zal ik iets op Nederlands sagen? U praat met meneer Gledwood ~ ik ben al 36 jaar oud maar ik ben jong van herz.
ReplyDeleteMakke ik zinvoll?
Dat is wat ik remember van mijne nederlandskursus von alle deze jaaren

OK tot later, Gattina

ReplyDeleteOf course my favorite thing about this post is Arthur!
LOL, these are good. I like number one. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSnow is one thing but a snowflake is magical. I had one snowflake on my TT this week. Your good for digging up the good quotes. Happy shoveling.
ReplyDeleteLOVE #7! Never heard some of these before... and I'm not sure I get #11... snow jelly? Slips through your fingers? Maybe?
ReplyDeleteSeven years without snow? I can't even imagien it, especially after the last two winters we've had with record snowfalls. Great quotes!

Cute list, and certainly appropriate at this time.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
But, but, but, my front steps are unclean from the snow blowing off the neighbor's roof! No way to win *hanging head*
ReplyDeletelol.. I love this post. Thanks for the smile this morning. I needed it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't get past #1 before I left and got Bud and read this to him....
ReplyDeleteThese are great Gattina
Fun TT! Made me smile.
ReplyDeleteWell, we have 36 inches here. It won't go down until next month.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are having a touch of real Winter. Have you laid on the ground and made a snow angel yet?
We didn't have any snow over here... :( I liked the quotes though! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT.
Interesting but snow and I are not friends.
ReplyDeleteGreat lost, though I am not sure I understand #11.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. Maybe I should do 13 on rain, cyclones and floods...lol.
ReplyDeleteNo snow for that long? Sounds like heaven to me, even though we have had quite sparsely with snow the past years.
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes, never have seen any quotes about snow earlier, I really don't know how you find everything :-)
