[Icey]

Have you had any thunder yet? Your southern rain's headed our way. : (

[tomsk]

No thunder but plenty of moisture in the air..

[Icey]

I know. It feels horrible up here.

[tomsk]

really?
I thought it would be very atmospheric...
Is the place warm ?

[Icey]

Just been to look outside. The rain's finally stopped, but everywhere's saturated. The sky's full of cloud as well. There's more rain to come - as the forecast promised. : (

Yes, it's very warm tonight. It's only atmospheric when we have thunder and lightning, but that hasn't reached us yet.

[tomsk]

Oh I love the sound of the rain pattering on the window ,
are there any birds singing?

[Icey]

Not yet- it's a bit early, but even if there were, you can't hear them unless you're outside. The walls're too thick.

[tomsk]

keeps the heat in no?

[Icey]

Yes, but it can take a while for a room to warm up properly.

[tomsk]

a small flat like mine is piping in no time..

[Icey]

Lucky burger.

[tomsk]

yes,
it is handy..and cheap!

[Icey]

I remember you saying something about your bills. Was it the cheap electricity one? You're so fortunate. Ours're astronomical, and get worse each year.

[tomsk]

that's why you are always on the go...!

[Icey]

Have to be!

[tomsk]

do you have an eerie cellar at yours?

[Icey]

Yes! I don't like going down on my own!! : (

[tomsk]

do you know the History of your house?

[Icey]

Yes, some of it. To me, other houses're more interesting. Mine's my home. I don't think about it much. It's just there.

[tomsk]

is it.......HAUNTED?
