Winter Wonderland

Hello folks. Its been a while since my last blogging attempt and a lot has changed since then. First of all we are in the middle of a bitter winter, the coldest since records began. There are stalagtites growing in my kitchen, no seriously I mean it. The kitchen is the coldest room in our house, it faces away from the sun and feels like a cave. The windows are full of condensation, being single glazed and so its always wet in there. Great if your into fungi and mutated human eating plants. If there was a big earthquake and we had no water supplies, I'm pretty sure you could survive by licking the windows in the kitchen. There you go, theres always an upside to things!

Apart from surviving the bitter winter - did I say it was cold?? Well a couple of trampers (hikers) died not so far way from here, trekking in the hills. No one is sure yet why they died, there were experienced hikers but the snow drew close and they found their bodies about 5km from the hut they were trying to reach. A bit sad, made me think that hiking in the spring/summer is probably safer.

Also the weather means that my scooter wooter refuses to start within an acceptable time frame. It sort of make half hearted noises but never quite gets there....a bit like me trying to get out of bed in the morning. And now the main lights are not working making driving all that little bit more James Bondesque...mmm although I will probably get pulled over by the cops at some point and told to fix them.

My bunnies are under the table I am sat at, they have been pretty naughty recently, with various escapades into the neightbours garden, lolloping and leaping, eating the various vegetation and then disappearing at night only to be discovered the next morning looking rather bored, disillusioned and wanting to be picked up and taken home. Stupid bunnies.

Well we are soon to head up North for a long weekend. Looking forward to it. Hope to visit some active volcanoes. I need to see how the Scientology people are born as that where they come from. Volcano people. From the lava. Smelly. Oh yeah.
