[02:31] And NOW I have snow. Typical! [02:31] Hehehehe [02:32] lol [02:32] ours melted a bit, but not much [11:29] (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/W70vso6W/file_3871.jpg [11:29] (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/nk68T8ji/file_3872.jpg [14:39] Nice pics! [15:26] There was a tad more snow than I thought when driving over the hills! [15:27] Right! [17:15] oh man in a few days I turn the big 25 [17:18] @ahoneybun, BIG, would be if the numbers were reversed :P [17:18] well 25 is 1/4 my life depending [17:18] so still big in this case I think [18:17] hah i remember 25 [18:17] oh, wait [18:17] no i don't [18:17] xD [20:37] acheronuk: what is the valley we're looking over there? And is that a little stone circle off to the right? [20:38] gorgeous there -- we have about that same amount of snow here [20:55] valorie: The Severn valley. The wall on the right is a slightly tumbledown border wall of a very small church graveyard [20:56] There are circles and barrows to be found not far away, and the hill in the distance has iron-age earthworks on the top [20:57] wow [20:57] I've read about the Severn Valley, yes [20:58] my background is anthropology, and I'm about 1/4 Scots with lots of other northern European ancestors [20:58] those circles, barrows and other earthworks fascinate me [20:59] but so do old graveyards [21:00] Nor far away: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/uley-long-barrow-hetty-peglers-tump/ [21:01] I was a huge fan of lord of the rings in my teens and twenties [21:01] some of the places here, you feel like you had walked onto the set [21:03] well, you have done so! [21:03] pretty much, based on what Tolkien based his writings on! [21:04] all those Inklings tramped about the countryside a lot [21:05] NOVA here (PBS science show) has archaelogy shows about digs in England rather often [21:06] and also the "how they could build Stonehenge" episodes, which are also fascinating [21:08] have you been into the barrow? [21:09] Oddly no. Something I keep meaning to do. [21:09] If I do, I'll take pics [21:12] if I ever visit your neck of the woods, we'll go [21:12] and I'll buy you a pint or two [21:13] speaking of travel, are you thinking of coming to Vienna for Akademy? [21:13] it will soon be time to ask for funding [21:18] pondering it [21:18] good to hear! [21:19] yofel_: you gonna show up this year? [21:19] I'd love to have another Kubuntu meeting, a bit better planned this year [21:20] last year was incredible, and this promises more -- Vienna is so amazing
