Jazz Posted January 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 how are you all how are you owl? hugs xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 I am doing very well considering, thank you Jazz. Didn't feel up to driving today as I didn't get as much sleep as I had hoped. So i went for a brisk walk around the village using my Nordic poles, trying to rebuild the muscle I lost while laid up for so long. Enjoyed it very much and did better than I expected Taking 2 or 3 weeks to decompress then will be fostering oldies for a local rescue. Smallish dogs only, not up to handling the big ones any more. In the current rescue crisis, it's all hands on deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 When I said I was building up muscle strength, I didn't mean bodybuilding hehe. Brick walls are safe from me. Very hard frost here and thick fog. Staying at home until it clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackmagic Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Still blue skies and sunshine here but very cold. It is supposed to get warmer over the weekend. My son sent a video of snowing outside his flat in Romania yesterday. For the last few days they have 21degrees and thought spring was coming- back into winter. The weather is weird this year. Good you are able tog et out again. You have had a long haul. I haven't been out , apart for shopping, much for weeks- it is too blooming cold. Roll on spring. I haven't decided what to do about a dog yet. Being practical I avoid big dogs but I am not a small dog person. I thought about fostering but have my grandson visiting and , due to behavioural problems, he does not always respect boundaries. Cleo was excellent with him but bringing in a unknown dog needs thinking about. He assumes all dogs are like her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 Not getting warmer here until the end of next week. Freezing fog this morning, and by the time the sun got through to thaw the ice the day was well on. I went for a slightly shorter walk as otherwise I would have stiffened up after yesterday's exercise. Could have continued further today but the end of my nose was freezing.

owl Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 And the washing machine is leaking. An old but good Beko, covered under a repair contract. Nearly cancelled the annual direct debit a week ago as I thought it was expensive, then decided to let it through. So glad I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted January 22, 2023 Report Share Posted January 22, 2023 Old machines are more substantial than the modern ones. My Bosch machine was about 15 years old when I lwft it at my last house. It had coped with hairy blankets for two dogs and muddy kitchen rugs as well as everyday washing and was still going strong. Many years ago a washing machine repair man told me I should repair my old machine rather buy a new one. Feeling warmer this morning but cloudy sky. Snow remnants gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Good morning. Only a light frost here this morning. Foster dog arriving next week. No disrespect to the wonderful Wispa who shared my life for so many years, but with the current state of rescue I can't see any reason why not. I decided that I would only foster/adopt from a local rescue who could keep an eye on things and step in if anything happened to me. It so happens that a good friend runs a breed rescue not far away, and has a number of senior dogs coming in. Also I can't cope with another big dog, only one small enough to pick up. Anyway, this one just came in and she thinks he would be right for me. So foster with a view to adopting. Watch this space! I have managed to deter the mice from the house (mostly) but they are still in the sheds. I had better tell them to pack their little suitcases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
