It’s finally starting to warm up here...only -45 Celsius with the windchill this morning. o_O It’s an improvement from the -55 temps we’ve seen all week.
My daughter spent 3 months, March to June, in Grasslands Nayptional Park researching Prairie Dogs. It was a bit cold back then too! She absolutely loved Saskatchewan.

When her tenure finished, she flew to LA and needed rather different clothing! ?

Good afternoon all.
Hope your enjoying your Saturday.
Wales v Scotland rugby is being played at the moment and Scotland is winning.
They beat England last week which was great to see.
Wales have several of their key players missing today so I hope they can turn it around, but if not we don't mind losing to them.

It ended well! My nerves were shot to pieces, but a win is a win! ???????

In other news Daughter has sold her car. It’s a 10 year old Ford Fiesta, previously mine, but she’s moving to her own flat in London at the end of the month and there’s nowhere to park the car. To be fair it’s been on a battery charger in the garage mostly. It’s hardly been driven.

Anyway, in a stroke of luck, I posted about it on the rescue staff snd volunteer group and one of the staff members wanted it. Her 13 year old Fiesta had been written off following an accident that wasn’t her fault.

We’re going to feel sad saying goodbye to the Fiesta. It’s just going to confuse me when I see it in the rescue car park now! ?

Chompers new casa... I’ve got to go buy a bigger tree and a few more vines. He’s got a little waterfall in there but I don’t think you can see it in the picture. I ordered a battery operated one because I did not want to have to put holes in the screen for cords.. it’s 4’ x 2’ and I don’t think he knows what to do with all that space.. I didn’t have near enough greenery to fill it up..

Our storm developing now into a very nasty ice storm. No one is outside, no noise, no cars. But the Postal service delivered. “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet” ...
If you get mail doing bad weather that's nice, you must leave next to the post office. Here in my neighborhood you lucky to see a mailman twice a week. On Jan 25, 2021 I received a letter that was mailed on August 10, 2020. It only had to travel 4 miles, it only took 6 months. I have neighbors complaining about having to pay late fees on their bill because they are not receiving them. Mailman says Sorry not my fault, he can only deliver what they give him.

It was just a star when it hit but it was loud for sure.. the cold overnight made it run I guess. I ended up not getting it replaced though. All the company had was aftermarket parts and this is a brand new truck with lots of safety features and tech stuff.. I wanted factory parts. So I made them order it and they are coming next Friday.. they will have to calibrate all the sensors and such that are part of the windshield..
That's good. I'm glad for you getting it done right. Maybe it's the safety features that kept it from being so much worse when it happened. ?

CDR Virtual Vacations presents On this day 2020: We drove to Kaikoura in the morning. As you head further south in New Zealand the weather gets cooler and it was also heading for autumn.

Kaikoura is THE place to go whale watching and it was amazing! Two Sperm Whales... Hector’s, Common and huge numbers of very acrobatic Dusky Dolphins that leap just for the sake of it. Mew Zealand fur seals Fur Seals and their pups started to become regular sightings ?

I tried to find Chomper but couldn't.☹️ But that will be beautiful especially when you get it finished.
