Nup, Not Happening
I woke up this morning and the thought of putting my snow boots on my swollen and painful feet almost brought me to tears. The left boot, which I thought had worn in pretty nicely, has given me a swollen and painful archilles tendon. And the right boot, which I now consider to be my mortal enemy!, has bruised my ankle (probably permanently). So I decided I'm not leaving the ...

Everywhere the buildings are roasting hot, people in T shirts and light clothes....such a contrast from outside at about -4 deg C today! Our new coats are perfect and are keeping us toasty and when you get inside everywhere has places to hang up your big winter coats. So, off for ...
