Having one myself.<BR/><BR/>I have just been to the shops to buy pots of spring bulbs such as tuilps and daffodils to cheer up the back room, and we have just bought a wooly rug everyonbe is sitting on.<BR/><BR/>Thinking about the Gaza situation and Frances, perhaps on a demo as we speak. We are lucky to live in the countries we do wtih all our safety and comforts.<BR/><BR/>Love the snow. Great for the kids. They don't see much of it nowadays. Probably a good sign in the global warming thingy as our winters have been unnaturally mild for years. People should just be sensible and not go out, though obviously I have sympathy for people who have actually broken limbs.(lol)Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676624646066417262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076712181904223864.post-54406088400782200972009-01-11T13:24:00.000+01:002009-01-11T13:24:00.000+01:00You will look back on this time as an adventure an...You will look back on this time as an adventure and you certainly seem to be keeping very calm about it all.<BR/>Glad the Uberhund likes his favourite food and that he has got his way.

You might get along the canals very fast that way!<BR/><BR/>'Bye for now!
