Although the thaw has just started over here, the new iceage has still got the UK in its grip. I noticed that Stephen has expressed a certain amount of annoyance at the weather - well, anything that makes him have to walk 500m to and from his car is worthy of being annoyed at!
This morning there was a mysterious mist laying in the valley outside and while the photo does not give it back totally, it was fascinating to watch. Good job Roy cleared a path down the drive, it is now nicely clear with the grass showing through.
The only bit of news since last post is that I managed to get to Hatvan by bus to do some food shopping with Nelly. I filled the big rucksack, but felt too weak to walk about with it, so spent nearly 2 hours in the bus station waiting for the return journey.
Roy is getting on with my ancestral lines - mostly doing the research on the Internet. He has now got a thick book of the Czettels and a nearly as thick one on the Posners. This morning he was doing Frankls, Roths and Schwarzes, so he is happy. I suppose the sincerely annoying habit of no index to any of these collections on the net comes in handy when you are at a loss of what to do, because looking through hundreds of scanned images is definitely time consuming.
We are staying here until next Thursday or Friday at least, as I am awaiting the start of my favourite series on Ch5: CSI New York (let's see who survived the machine gun attack??!!), CSI, NCIS and Numbers. That'll take me to Wednesday, so we can leave after that. I know this is sad, but one needs the occasional diversion in the winter when there is no orienteering, moving about is difficult and the big pottery stove is all nice and hot to sit by.

Looks very cold Julianna, on the other hand, here it is very hot and very very wet in some areas. SW Queensland and Northern Territory are in flood and Lake Ayre has water in it - quite a rareity!! We have not as yet had any monsoonal rains, just a few showers, the garden is very dry. I have started with the help of the girls to get my back garden under control - will be a very big job, want to change the whole layout and make it more drought friendly. Had a little laugh about the glasses episode - that happened to me but I ran over them with the car!!!!
Love Rosemary.
