Since I discovered Facebook, I have been neglecting my Blog even more than before. Sorry!!!
We have a lovely and quiet Christmas. No snow, as usual. We had about 3 flakes so far this "winter". The weather was so nice that I got impatient and made a new flowerbed and put lots of plants in it. Now we are having a week of frost every night, and I am worried about my little green friends. The frogs have been out and about for a while, before it got cold, and one night I counted 10 of them in our pond. No sign of toads and newts so far.
Sunnie finally got a boyfriend a few weeks before Christmas. His name is Cloud and he is a really friendly and naughty little boy. He was advertised on the internet, because his owners did not want him any longer. He had been a birthday present for a 6-year old girl, and she got bored of him after only 2 weeks. He was tiny when I got him, he got taken away from his mother much too young. He's the grey bunny in the photo, Sunnie is the red-brown one.
I am currently going insane about this year's holidays. I am trying to plan some trips, but it is all so complicated. I have found people to look after our rabbits, at least. I had booked a flight to Norway for May, but the airline decided to cancel it without telling me straught away. They might be in money trouble. I called them and asked them for a refund, but now I can't find any other flights that are cheap enough. I have to hope that some airline will do a special offer soon. I have booked a cottage at the Norwegian west coast, and also one at a lake in Sweden for the middle of August. I just love to go to Scandinavia. I had planned to take Matthias to Iceland for his birthday, but the flights and everything else up there are sooooo expensive. Eastern Canada was another plan I had to postpone, due to the flights being too expensive. Some day....!!
I am feeling a bit sick at the moment, because Alistair was watching one of those survival programmes on TV. Some guy, who thinks he's really cool, does stupid things in the wilderness, with the excuse to show people how to survive out there. What really upset me tonight is when he took a cute little tree frog and bit off its head. It was still alive. And then he killed and grilled a turtle. I don't think they need to show this on TV. I hope Matthias hasn't seen this episode, he'd be very upset, too.
