The highly paid weather team...early this week was forecasting up to 3 inches of snow for our area today.....then not much......then it changed to maybe just rain. This morning. Ogh, the storm is south of here...no snow, no rain, just overcast cloudy conditions. Right now it is full SUN and blue sky.
We went for an early hike/walk to our local refuge. Hardly any wildlife active. I guess too nice. All the snow and ice have melted - Spring could be around the corner.
A few of the standard spots that I always take pix of....and a sign for the Forum.
Pix three, the small water area is exactly the type of boggy area where I expect Box turtles to hang about. Woodsy, overgrown, wet..lots of cover.

So, Dining Week 2019. Restaurant Moehr showcasing New Nordic cuisine in Roskilde.
The first course, similar to Mark’s prediction, is a mosaic of lightly salted cod, served ice cold with a “snow” of horse radish and apple vinaigrette on the side.
I dove into my main course — grilled beef with glazed beetroot and mustard seeds, topped with foamed brown butter cream — before I remembered to take a picture. Here’s daughter’s dish:
And to finish our three-course winter menu, here’s parsley ice cream in warm white chocolate with bits of dark chocolate and cucumber pops as a surprise element.
Daughter loved the dessert, apart from the cucumber element. The appetizer didn’t appeal to her at all, and the main course only partly. I don’t know why she acted like a six-year-old this time. ♀️[emoji849][emoji849]

Yep, Box turtles sure do hibernate. Once Spring temps arrive late April / early May box turtles climb up and out from their deep frozen Winter’s nap. I’m sure they are dug way down in the mud, boggy areas...just waiting for Springtime temps. I’m sure these 65F dsys really fool with their internal core temps and desires...
Was out working with the cedar logs...seeing what works. The wonderful aroma....thought I would light some up and let our house enjoy too..
Can you SMELL the cedar!?

Noel is probably the pirate and Ray has crossed a t or two...I think a pink handbag is in order cause I'm trying to not die laughing. I'm so glad you're home.
I live in a zoo with critters. My brother is the biggest one...sooo...our home looks a bit unconventional. Ask me if I care....that's just what my house looks like at the moment with chairs for me to kneel on all over the place.
At least they're not stacked on the table though!!
Almost! The scraps sound amazing especially with that beautiful tiny fire pit.
That mini “fire pit” is an incense burner I picked up in Riyadh a few years ago. We have a few different types, but these open ones lend themselves to a good burn.
I must be dislexic cause I keep forgetting which daylight savings time I like best. I know it's not a senior moment because I've never been able to figure it out.
I figured it was...but it's really neat looking...and such a nice way to use your tiny scraps. I love the smell of wood too.
Ooooooh I’m jealous!!!
Unconventional = happy!!!
Yep+
Good evening all.
Hope everyone is having a good Saturday.
My hospital appointment was fine.
One doc still wasn't happy that the infection in the small wound had cleared up, but his boss said it would be OK.
I have another new plaster which feels pretty uncomfortable compared to the last 2 - it feels like the soft dressings under the plaster have bunched up and are pressing into my heel and the bottom of my foot.
They don't want to see me for 3 weeks and I am hoping the next time I go the xray will be fine and they will give me a boot and let me start weight bearing.
I may have to go back to get the cast checked though as the last thing I want is pressure sores as well, but I'll see how it feels by Monday.
Lola has been refusing to come out of his hide and eat the past 2 days, but he seems OK and keeping his beady eyes on me when I go near.
My nephew hasn't been down today so I haven't tried to lift Lola out for a soak, that will be first thing on the list for the morning when I have help.
Lola thinks my cast with my toes sticking out is some strange type of tortoise and when he was out the floor other day he kept trying to barge it - maybe that's why he won't come out now!
Lola seems to behaving true to form
He needs to make sure you know that you need to feel guilty - even though you don’t - and he is SO well practiced at making you feel guilty [emoji849]
Some pictures from my evening. We are staying in a cottage room with a built in 4 poster bed
Sign on the kitchen door
My main (lamb “lollipop”) before the veggies and chips (french fries) were added
My dessert (choux bun)
I am completely stuffed. The portions were far from dainty. Completely the opposite type of cuisine to what Lena had tonight! It was very good.

Looking pretty darn fancy there. Happy Birthday and enjoy.
I love the sign!
The Hairy Bikers were on TV last week in Sweden (I think) and they were at some old quarry that had been converted to a restaurant where they cooked using ingredients from nature. The owner cooked lamb with things like mushrooms, fruit and moss - apparently it was delicious!So, Dining Week 2019. Restaurant Moehr showcasing New Nordic cuisine in Roskilde.

See - being stuck at home I am forced to watch cookery programmes!!!! Unheard of usually!
