time to start a chip-in to buy a sweater for pshrynk's apple tree !

Thanks for the photos, zelda! They are so cute. I'll have to get photos of the ones down the street from us.

How nice to be able to watch the ducklings and get some sunshine at the same time.

Not about to see those here, it's too early!

Took another pic 5 mins ago, rain has finally stopped and it's supposed to be warm enough this afternoon to melt the snow.


Carole had to cut the flowers before they froze. At least there's a fresh bouquet in the house. Smells nice!
I can't believe it is still snowing in the mountains around here, also. I hope it all melts soon, Yvan.

That's what happened last year to my oranges, grapefruit, and tangelos. I'm watching the wind and rain again today and I'm afraid I'll have a small crop this year too.

I'll just go check the park for cute birds (we have them all year round). I don't think there will be ducklings at this time of year though.

OK I'm on my way to Paris with cheesecake in luggage. See you there.

Take me with you !!!!!!!!! And don't forget to put the cheesecake in the suitcase or they take it off you as it will be more than 100ml / g of gel like substance. Yep, don't laugh. Happened to me when I tried to take some cheese from Paris to Berlin I sure hope someone enjoyed them

On the other hand - lets eat the cheese cake in the park before we take off - we can bake a fresh one in Paris

Man, that black one in the center of the photo looks kinda odd. Is that the famous "le vilain caneton"?

I saw a documentary on the new tower in Dubai (shaped like a giant sail) - which employs a falconer to keep pigeons from roosting on it.

In Montréal, biologist are following the evolutions of a dozen families of wild peregrine falcons; that are now city dwellers. They raise their roosts on the tall buildings and feed on the pigeon community.
No, wait.... That sounds exactly like the banks feeding on us...

There's a lot of wood pigeons in my neighbourhood at the minute, and seagulls. Sometimes England is weird. (Although the wood pigeons make a beautiful sound when they 'coo')

I've brought a pack of wholemeal digestives, which should do. I did bring some HobNobs, but I'm afraid we've cleared those out now...
