The snow house has almost disappeared and our track reminds me of a film called ‘A River runs through it’ and I was thinking the house could acquire a name, the Seven Lakes.
There were strong winds on December 28, apparantly. I don’t remember them. Anyway it seems the waves got so high that the seals at the Kattegat Centre in Grenaa were able to swim off into the open sea and this they did with ne’er a backward glance. You’d think they’d come back for the nosh but apparantly they haven’t and the Kattegat Centre are having to budget for some extra seals.
I went to collect Mia from a friend’s house a couple of days ago and they casually dropped into the conversation about their sharks. ‘Your what?’ I said thinking I had misheard and that I was headed for yet another embarassing misunderstanding. ‘Sharks!’ they said. This I had to see so I was led into their living room where there was a large aquarium about 5 foot long and yes indeed there were two sharks each about a foot long, swimming around. The mother was complaining that they were doing a terrible damage to the tasteful seascape she had built up in the aquarium and for that reason they would have to go. I did ask how big she expected them to get but don’t remember the answer.
A postcript regarding the Christmas drawing competition which has yet to have a declared winner. It seems that it was more difficult to access the drawing site this year and we ended up with about six entries from a certain ‘Tony’ plus one from Greg though we are not sure which year that dates from. So the competition is void.
