Tuesday 28th February

Thank you.....as for the roof MOS, I think I'll stick to wood and tiles....I reckon the snow would come through the weave of the basket.  Joanna I was right...not only got a whiff of it but now got the real thing..s'no good and I've lost the greenery again and it's still coming down.  Jackie...you are so right for the money to find itself in the hands of the creator without the 'inflator'adding his or her 100%.  

So it's cold again, it's white again and winter is back with us.  

Looks glorious I'm extremely envious your dogs get to play in so much snow and mine just gets to tramp around in a muddy bog :\

Tuesday continued

Cold as you like or don't like...that wind is raw...and the damage has been done to my roof.  Got another eighty pence worth of nails but I think I'll wait till the weather's better.....I might end up in Greece and that would be a problem...maybe I should always carry my passport just in case...

Did my student today...not that he was really interested but the homework is a little different and I've told him...real sentences not just the odd word here and there.  I told him he was like a wet lettuce this afternoon ...he's bright as a button but he's a boy and almost thirteen...what can you teach them?  

Now my Beast has been a bit of a problem...when I came back on Thursday the fuel gauge was showing half full and I thought that was a little weird since I had used it quite a bit since I put one hundred leva of fuel in.  So when I came to use it on Friday...absolutely nothing...so I was forced into using Beauty.  So today to Djebel armed with a big water bottle I bought twenty levas worth, got back and put it into the tank and ....nothing.  So I read the manual and it says that there's a little pump thing and I can unscrew something and remove the air from the fuel pipes.  So I lifted the bonnet, looked around, found nothing that resembled what I was looking for so my man will be out tomorrow to ascertain if it's something or nothing.  Something is going to cost....nothing...is what I'm hoping.

Shut up shop early tonight and closed the curtain...the temperature is dropping rapidly.  The snow's gone and my garden is being back to green and only light flurries all day.  Not sure what's forecast for tonight but those fires are going to be thumping out until I go back to the nest.

LN......I looked at the damage to the wine box....I think it's almost terminal.  I have the remains of yesterday's soup and the bones went to Tommy along with the rest of the beef curry that lingered in the fridge a little longer than I wanted it to.  Tommy started gulping it down and then sneezed...maybe he's not used to curry or maybe he's never had it before and as for beef.....probably a months supply there.  I did feel wasteful but hey....better safe than sorry... LN....back to the warmth of the fire...

Wednesday 29th February

What a day of variances and it's only just gone eight thirty here....pictures are better than a thousand words...not that I'll bore you with the detail but I'll just say...it's snowing again and flipping freezing into the bargain...

Wednesday continued

So the wind blew and the snow snowed and it was one of those days that you had to be in.  I didn't even get the logs in until four this afternoon.  So I made one of the curtains for the second bedroom...just need the supports putting in place for the curtain rods.  I think I might have to get a man in to drill the holes and get the supports in place so that at least I can hang the curtains that I am bothering making.  

It's been a day of having BBC2 playing in the background over the PC and taking comfort from Chris Evans and the likes.... Liza Tarbuck is playing now and you forget all about them but when you hear them....memories flood back.

Forgot to post picture of the rest of the pressies from my Princess.  I had my fridge magnet as I said,the bar of chocolate that was demolished in one fell swoop, two plastic chocolate sachets that have yet to be had and the one that I really loved was the 'LOVE' hanging that is now ensconced int he hallway underneath my magic eyes that keep the evil spirit away....arrrgggg.

Supper was last nights chicken soup with haricot beans and chilli added and it was delicious.  It has snowed all day and it is cold so it was good to have something warming.  Wine bottle opened...just need that something special tonight.....book is getting more interesting,,,four hundred pages down and another five hundred to go...how do they manage to write that much....LN...the story will follow...now I'm back to the warmth of the fire,,,not even BBC2 can keep me from it and the aroma of my freesias if filling the house with a beautiful aroma......just need to fill my glass now....LN

Well here I sit and I'm all excited! I have booked flights which will arrive on 24th March and I leave again on 31st March so I get to see some of BG at last for real!

Now do I actually need to worry too much about snow ?!?!?!
