Must have been world-wide. We had snow flurries yesterday as well. Felicity sat in her tree watching it for hours, but had absolutely no desire to venture out. (She is a Thailand cat.) Fortunately, none stuck to the ground. I'm praying we get through this winter with zero accumulation. Riding motorcycles on a thin layer of snow is NOT pleasant.

No snow ever stayed put on the ground - just pretty flakes in the air - then melted - so no kitty fun day!
Today - just ice left on the roads. |

Banging my head against the wall gently because I didn't have a spare 3TB drive on hand to immediately bit-level clone a client drive before it collapsed a mere couple of hours later. . . and thinking I should go to bed about now (00H16) ... and that it's perhaps a bit odd that I appear back on the board like this

I've decided that I'm going to the Keukenhof (flower show) on my own this year. Before I went with my sister. I love her very much but not only do I need a day out by myself, she wants to keep going all day, hardly taking time to have lunch. I like to wander around, take it easy, maybe find a nice bench to relax (with my Kindle) for a little bit and then wander on again.
It's still four and a half weeks before they open and I still have to decide when I want to go; I don't want to go early because a lot of flowers aren't in bloom yet, too late and a lot are out of bloom and I also want to avoid very busy days. |

I just saw that they also offer one day photography courses. Not only for the (d)SLR cameras but also for compact cameras and smart phones. That might be fun to treat myself to. |

A good camera class might just be the difference between having photographs or just snapshots. Take the class! These same compositional skills are used in ALL the arts, not just photography. They will carry over into your painting, sketching, sculpting, etc., etc., etc.! Stitchawl |

I'm now trying to think what I can do on my own, but can only come up with the things I usually do (Amsterdam, Rotterdam/The Hague). |

Change of holiday plans, again. My sister and I had planned on going to Brussels for a couple of day in May or June together. Yesterday I started thinking about where I wanted to go for my "abroad" holiday this year (August of September) and decided on five days in Copenhagen.
Today I told my sister this and she wanted to join me. So, now we're not going to Brussels but we are going to Copenhagen in September. I still want a couple of days away on my own so I'm now checking out prices for 4 days Antwerpen in May or June. |

It's a choice I make, Wyndslash. In this modern world we don't get a lot of choices. All too often they are made by our bosses, our teachers, our politicians, our culture, or our parents.
But we DO get one choice that no one can take away from us; our attitude. So I choose to be enthusiastic. I choose to be optimistic. And I choose to be happy. And no one can take those away from me. Stitchawl |
