I thought I'd leave you with some photos taken last week...not sure exactly the day, maybe Saturday- no Friday as they all went skiing again on Saturday. It was cold...I think -12C or something with a wind chill of -20 or something. Remi and I took Honey out for a play and had fun throwing rocks onto the ice trying to break it, while Honey had fun running out and getting them...until she went on some much thinner ice and fell through with her back legs.
She survived of course. Now most of the snow has either blown or melted away.
And we had a sad day yesterday with one of our little hamsters dying. Not the oldest one who is surely not going to last much longer, but the other one. Poor Ella discovered little Cardamom lying dead in her cage and was very upset. We put her wrapped in tissues with a button and a bead (Ella wanted it to be like an Egyptian burial) into a large matchbox and burried her in the garden with a little ceremony. Kit was also very upset. We all loved the little hamsters. Ella also made a gravestone for her saying :
"here lies Jimmy Jazz Cardamom who died 1/4/09 RIP"
Ella doesn't have to worry about Cardamom, I have just been informed by magic email that Himself will be taking special care of him and even Emma may help show him around.
ReplyDeletePlease tell Honey how sorry we are for her, it was lovely going for a cooling paddle this morning in Dad's current favourite bit of Wentworth...Thegoa Lagoon of course.
And I bet Honey is pleased the gang has gone back to school, she can properly be the centre of attention.
regards etc
