COLD

I hope you had a very good holiday.

 I had, Christmas ham and pickled herring , glogg and

expensive overly strong Belgium beer. Santa

came in the form of my son with gifts.

A surprise the village authorities gave me and everybody a blanket

per family.

This is the second coldest winter in20 years for me in

this region , long cold and humid which makes it worse.

Had a visit from four big bikers so now the neighbors think

I am a Hell Angels guy.

There was also a 3 week visit of a neighboring cat who did not get along with their cats but preferred mine and after about a week everything went smoothly. The cat was in indoor cat and did not have the social skills of the law of the jungle is the beginning and was afraid hissed and growled

But as they got acquainted it worked out very well.

Even the cats are effected of the cold weather so they want to snuggle under blankets and pillows. The last family of cats sleep outdoor and snuggle together to keep warm , the wild bunch.

I am freezing my butt of and you think delicate flowers like orchids would do the same but no they start flowering instead like a few other things  https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+trumpet+bush&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=1yK-UoD9IYbriAep-IC4DA&sqi=2&ved=0CCoQsAQ&biw=1352&bih=602

Now New Years traffic have started so the best is to go nowhere they have fatal accidents everywhere 161 dead in the first 3 days.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Animal kingdom

The animal kingdom is more peaceful then the other kingdom, apart from the Brother ongoing cat fights with a neighboring cat.

New visitors 2 scorpions and 4 snakes it sounds macho to talk about them but in fact the is not. The scorpion sting is like a bee sting but the foot get a bit sore for 2-3 days the only odd thing is one arm and around the mouth get to be tingling for a few hours.

Now the thing at I did not think was going to happen one plant looks like it is dying grew very quickly from a normal potted plant to a bush 1m. high 2m. wide but now the leaves is going I do not know if it is a Perennial

Or an annual . Coleus 'Grape Expectations' (medium; upright)

Weather cooler from the sun goes down the temp. drops and it 20c or less in the morning and stay cool until 1000

If it was not for tv I would not really know what is happening in the country here time is standing still even when I go to town , not much

of traffic or anything else.
