Meltdown

This is how I feel right now.

After the Xmas and New Year craziness, everywhere I go all I can see is mud.

The snow has melted, but there is still the memory of the uniformity of the snow flake embellished in the mud.

Here it is.

The memory of a snowflake in the mud....

Perhaps we should take a few moments to reflect on Haiti and all the people suffering over there, as so often happens after disasters like this, the Worlds media moves away and the focus is less and less.

I know from personal experience that this is so.

SnowShadows

I took this in colour on my silly little mobile phone which actually has a fairly low resolution 2megs I think. I then converted it to greyscale on paintshop pro........By adjusting the brightness its actually turned into a half decent photo.#

Oh by the way

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We had loads of snow but not many photos I'm afraid.

My neighbour, Hughie was taken ill over the New Year and I had to 'phone 999...He was being violently sick and drifting in and out of consciousness....Almost thought I would have to take his teeth out and perform mouth to mouth....Didn't relish that.

There were blizzard conditions, in fact it went "whiteout" for a while. There was no way a helicopter could land or the ambulance get through the snow drifts, so I 'phoned Mackie who has the biggest tractor in the world and snow plough.

He made it and rescued Hughie....boy was I glad to see him and the tractor steaming through the drifts. Hughie has recovered and is now back at home.....Best place for him.
