katriona_sWeekend. This morning I woke up late :(. Outside, there already was the mild, warm sunshine. The garden cats seemed to be quite contented in the sun.
After the breakfast I did washing, my weekly cleaning, put the futon mattresses on the verandah to air. Though around noon I noticed there came some clouds, I took mattresses in. The sky became darker in the afternoon and it has become cold, I turned on the floor heating. Andlate in the afternoon there came rain.
After the big earthquakes on the new years day, every day we see the horrible and sad news on TV or newspapers, few good news… and I tend to feel rather blue, especially on such day without sunshine :(
The damaged area by the earthquakes, Noto peninsula facing the Sea of Japan, usually they have many snow and cold rain in winter. And naturally, the victims are now suffering by the severe coldness - they still do not have electric power, water etc. i can’t imagine how they manage to survive there. I hope te winter weather would be kind to them….

We still have low arctic temperatures but it IS normal - should be normal. And after several years, we have really luxurious ice on our small pond in front or our house! It is like a mirror! And all ice-skaters are so happy! Boys and some men play ice-hockey, girls are just skating and small children learn skating with their parents. And I found my daughter´s old skates in the shelf and after 7 or so years went to try it too! Hahaha, my first steps were really more than unsure but after several minutes I got it back at least to manage some decent skating with my younger neighbour. It was FUN but oh, my legs hurt! If I have time tomorrow, I am going to do it again!LOL
