what's your local weather?

Mild! Currently 15, and we've had a nice break today from the rain that's been at us the last few days.

Stop harshing on my mellow, Weather Network!! :scream:
 

Talk about a man repeller!

Puts me in mind of Sainte Barbe, literally "Saint Beard" in English. The legend says that god made her beard grow very fast so that she would not be raped (By pillagers I guess). Here she's the patron saint of firemen and miners... I don't know if you guys have heard of her.

I wonder what god was doing the other millions of times when women were raped by countless assailants...
 
It was bright a few minutes after the Sun rose. Then I heard thunder, looked outside, and it's almost midnight again.

Oof.

I had no idea it was supposed to rain this morning. I have no excuse. I didn't check our forecast.

Never heard of her. Have you got a link? My search terms just return places.

Yes, it seems it's a "French" Saint because your Patron Saint of firefighters is Saint Florian, who's likely not related to Sainte Barbe.

I have a link but it's in French... sorry. FYI (Pompiers = Firefighters)

I've just discovered that Saint Florian is also the patron saint of firefighters in France...

So we have TWO then.:D

French :interrobang:

If only I’d paid more attention in French class, instead of transferring to German, for the incredibly flirty Beargit, but she was a hell of a tease. Taught me how to say I wear spectacles in German, one of only two German phrases I can remember.

I’ll have a go at the link with my dictionary. :beer:

Don't ask me how but I have a translator built-in in my Google Chrome, it gives me a translation of any page in pretty much any foreign tongue with a simple click. I've had it from the beginning, I think. It even works with Japanese or Malaysian or even languages I didn't know existed.
