Well, we fell to -11* f (-23c) this morning and warmed up to -5* f (-20c) when I came up here to write to you.
Although the weather people are promising we will be MUCH warmer than yesterday zooming up to 28* (-2c) for at least a short spell this afternoon.
So here we are at the start of a new year, snow on the ground and in the mountains (where we really, really need it) and sunshine today
We are in one of those ‘between places’
Where it seems the world has stopped for a spell…neither one thing or another thing
Allowing us to walk in a cloud of cold so harsh your nose sticks together, yet so stunningly beautiful you want to be outside and enjoy everything.
And for some reason…only the crows know…they have taken to gather in huge flocks called a Murder of Crows…
Which are actually rather neat to see and hear
Stay warm my friends and enjoy the day!

Not quite like my Christmas in Noumea, New Caledonia.
Fantastic weather – just the usual tropical “hot” water showers!
My God, how Bladen has grown, what are his parents feeding him?
I can assure you “les belle jeune femmes” on the Baie des Citrons would have been
oogling the young fellow as he flashed past on water skis!

I never liked the term ‘murder’. I just refer to it as a ‘herd’ of crows.

Herd is better for four-legs how about flock?

Flock sounds like the artificial snow that gets sprayed onto Christmas trees.
