A lot of snow !

 

[Bee62]

School and work. That's all.

That is enough to do

 

[Bee62]

All good this side Sabine. And you? How are all your animals doing?

I have a VET appointement tomorrow with one of my cats. I am not sure if he is sick or not. He lost weight and is very calm. A blood work will show if there is something wrong.
Another cat must go to the VET dentist ...

[Dipa]

Good afternoon all. We are on the way home on the train. The snow appears to have eased and hopefully isn’t too bad.

It is :censored: freezing!

Today we have been to Clapham South Deep Shelter - One of 8 built during the second world war to accommodate Londoners sheltering from Nazi air attacks.

It could sleep 8000 people at full capacity. It was never an underground station although one of its entrances is from the Northern Line.

After the war it was used as a “hotel” for people visiting the 1951 Festival of Britain, for accommodation for the first Caribbean immigrants and for accommodation for troops for King George VI funeral and the subsequent coronation of the current Queen Elizabeth II.

Then it was turned into document archives which is what saved it.

It’s 180 steps down (and up) - around 70ft/20 metres below ground.

If we get many more roommates in the CDR, we might think about bunk beds.
Good morning, all!

 

[Kristoff]

So sorry for your loss.

Thank you, Kathy!

 

[Kristoff]

wow that looks like quite a storm.

In the UK we do not do well with anything weather wise other than ‘normal’ if there is snow the whole country come to a standstill.

In fact, the train I get to work each day has a different excuse for why is cancelled/ late for every weather scenario... including.... melting rails, slippery rails, wrong type of rain, sun in the wrong place in the sky to name a few!

Melting rails! It must be scorching hot sometimes!!

 

[Kristoff]

Sorry to hear that Lena. My deepest condolences.

Thank you, Bee!

 

[Kristoff]

Head to butt: Let us sleep !!!

That “smile” is priceless!

 

[Kristoff]

Just found that: Try not to laugh.

Does she do it again and again?
Crazy human, you won’t turn into a turtle, no matter how many times you try! (Disclaimer: Not speaking from experience. )

Good morning Katie. That doesn’t sound like fun. I had palpitations when my thyroid went berserk years ago. I hope they can sort you out.

Switching to decaf is advisable! I very rarely drink caffeinated coffee these days. I can tolerate tea, but I have to be careful with coffee

Ah! That’s why the coffee you’d leave for us on Montgomery tasted strange?
Good luck at the doctors, Katie!

Aw! Nice to see him — outdoors too!

 

[Kristoff]

I’m just off to parents evening. My youngest son is 6 and has autism. He goes to a special school for kids with ASD. He doesn’t really talk. He’s just started horse riding and loves it!!! He’s great with animals very gentle.
Hopefully he has a good report

Good luck. I taught English briefly to some children with autism at a school for gifted kids. For some it took a while to even learn to smile, but what brilliant inner worlds they have once you’re allowed a glimpse in!

 

[Kristoff]

Was trying to get a start on cleaning up my flower beds and realized that I had something watching me. The reptiles are starting to come out so maybe I can officially say it's spring?

Cute! I was distracted by the beautiful hyacinth in the first picture.

I have a VET appointement tomorrow with one of my cats. I am not sure if he is sick or not. He lost weight and is very calm. A blood work will show if there is something wrong.
Another cat must go to the VET dentist ...

Good luck, Bee! Hope both cats are better soon.

Somehow I can’t imagine that any cat likes dental treatment... or the vet. There are a lot of sharp bits on cats!

I hope the one losing weight is OK. That’s worrying

I keep fully caffeinated in still - for friends and the occasional treat

 

[JoesMum]

Good morning all.

The snow has melted! Yipppeeeeeee!!!!!

There are rumours of more at Easter. Boooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

I have a governor meeting tonight, so I must be good and finish reading the papers. I shall pop in for relief!
