Sweet dreams Dickie!Well done to you & your pupils.
Sweet dreams Jacky
Here’s Dickie![]()
Hello Natrah - I do hope you are feeling better now. Zola was very impressed about your students passing their exams - he would quite like to take some exams himself (e.g-eating, sleeping,wee-ing ...) and is sure he would get good marks - and maybe a certificate that he could show to people! We were very busy yesterday, getting our bathroom cleared out, as a builder was coming to replace our leaking shower-I never realised what a lot of stuff we had accumulated over the nearly 30 years we have lived here. He is putting down some cement under a new tray, and new panels over the walls,instead of the tiles Richard put up when we came -and fixing everything properly so it will never leak again. He is really good, and just gets on with it - in fact, he has just gone out to collect the new shower tray, and will have everything done some time tomorrow. It will be lovely to be able to shower without worrying if I'm splashing about too much !Sweet dreams Dickie!
Goodnight everyone
Natrah
Please could we have some photos Angie!Hello Natrah - yes, it is indeed snowing, and has obviously been doing so most of the night. It is very unusual to get a really heavy layer of snow here, and I think, actually, it is already turning to sleet. When Richard opened the back door earlier, the robin was there making a really pathetic noise which he had never heard before. Obviously, Richard grabbed the mealworm box and rushed out, and the robin ate quite a lot of worms, thank goodness - of course, a lot of the younger birds here have never seen snow before, and are really confused.
We don't have to go out today, luckily - the shower man is, we hope, coming this afternoon with the shower door he has ordered, and will put it up, and do one or two finishing- off things - then that will be it !! We don't know how much it's all going to cost yet, but we know he won't overcharge us - and it had to be fixed.
I hope you will be feeling much better by the weekend.
Lots of love from Zola and Angie xxxxxxxxxxx
Sorry about your cold Natrah. I think sometimes we feel worse prior to its appearance & once the cold comes out not so bad, but of course that’s when people notice & give you sympathy! So I hope you get plenty of that this weekend when you’d probably rather stay tucked up indoorsAlso Sue.
Thankyou very much
Natrah
Yes how cold is it where you are Edward?Sorry about your cold Natrah. I think sometimes we feel worse prior to its appearance & once the cold comes out not so bad, but of course that’s when people notice & give you sympathy! So I hope you get plenty of that this weekend when you’d probably rather stay tucked up indoors
Don’t know if I’ve missed anything from @The_Four_Toed_Edward but I hope you are feeling better as well & @zolasmum too.
Sorry Natrah no pictures to show you as most of our snow was gone from the ground by the middle of the afternoon Tuesday. I’m sure the children were disappointed having gone to school whilst it was snowing then it’s all gone when they leave. We did have a heavy frost that night which turned what was left into ice. My car wipers were frozen solid to the windscreen when I needed to go to my job yesterday morning. De-icer didn’t free them up, I had to leave the cars heater on full blast for quite a while whilst chipping away with the ice scraper. Of course I was late then but my lovely couple I clean for gave me a nice hot coffee when I got there to thaw myself out! There is no way I could cope with the temperatures you get in Finland![]()
I will let you know if I see any - we do see a wider variety of birds in the winter, and have an assortment of feeders and foods always. At the moment we have quite a lot of goldfinches - but suddenly they may vanish for months. When we lived in Nottingham, I had a close friendship with a female blackbird - she would boss me about, but I didn't mind at all ! I think it is so wonderful to feel one is communicating with another creature - it's the same in a way as with a tortoise.Dear Angie,
You might start to notice Fieldfares and Redwings in your garden.

Good morning Angie!Ha -the shower didn't work !!! Only odd bits of very hot water !!! We will have to try and contact the plumber tomorrow -it's probably some minor thing, but very frustating !!!
