Not been skating in Amsterdam, it's a 2 hour drive away!@Antje77 have you been skating on any canals? The BBc reported it tonight... then added its the first time Amsterdam canals have frozen since....wait for it... 2018!!!!
Beware, pet spam!Tomorrow I'll post some pictures of my pets in the snow, not a clue how to do so on my phone
@Annb - I agree with Mrs A2 that it is quite an array of tests. More perplexing is the fact they haven't uncovered anything. I'm still plodding along. I was up at brother's for a while yesterday taking up more of my Hubby's prolific soup making. He turns out industrial sized quantities of soup! He was tired yesterday but answered my questions. He seems focused enough when it is one person speaking but I'm not sure how aware he is if a few people are speaking at once. It's quite distressing that my clever brother is being so affected.
I noticed they mentioned wildfires on the WI @Annb? I assume it's on one of the other islands. Seems odd wildfires with all this snow.
Otherwise I'm just plodding on.
Laffy is a very handsome guinea pig!New piggy is Laffy.
@Annb - the school thing is a bit daft. If anything I would have said P7 would be the class to go back with them due to move to senior school. I still say though grandson had the best idea for absolutely everyone to stay exactly where they are and forget this year happened.
Went on the guinea hunt today but they were smaller than expected so still in quarantine. However, we found another girl who was ready to move so grandson is overjoyed. New piggy is Laffy. He reckons his Mum & I were really sneaky keeping it secret but he's happy we did. Laffy is now being introduced to Halo the existing resident of the new Guinea House.

He is indeed - you're both correct @Annb & @Antje77. Laffy is a very good looking girl and very friendly. Her sisters were picking on her so it struck a note with grandson who felt she was meant for them. He's very protective.I have to agree with your grandson. I know there would be repercussions but I don't think it would do too much harm if all pupils and students repeated a year. After traumas, it takes a while to recover (eg after WW2 - the country was broke, kids had missed school and many had lost everything, housing was scarce, jobs had disappeared etc). It takes a while to recover, but it can be done. The whole country is in for the long haul. All very well for me though - I am a pensioner and haven't got to look for a job and am quite comfortable in the house all the time.
Laffy is a very handsome guinea pig. Your grandson must be very happy.
Awww soo cute! Enjoy!@Annb - the school thing is a bit daft. If anything I would have said P7 would be the class to go back with them due to move to senior school. I still say though grandson had the best idea for absolutely everyone to stay exactly where they are and forget this year happened.

They don't seem to be much bothered by the weatherBeware, pet spam!
And last but not least, chickens have taken over my bathroom at night. As soon as it gets a little warmer they will be kicked out again and the bathroom will receive a very thorough cleaning. But for now I just can't get myself to put them outside.
Is that one of your guineas out in the snow? I thought they didn't like cold?Beware, pet spam!

I thought so too!Is that one of your guineas out in the snow? I thought they didn't like cold?
Hope your DIL gets sorted out. I have to admit though, your BGs are a total mystery!DIL has been having problems recently with BG - she was put onto a new insulin but the GP surgery refused to prescribe sufficient test strips to keep a close eye on what was happening. The finally did, after diabetic nurse insisted, at which point DIL could see that her BGs were high (not as high as mine, but high enough) and that the insulin wasn't working at all. She was also given test strips for ketones which indicated that she was in trouble so she phoned NHS24. They told her to go to A&E. She was admitted to the medical ward immediately and will be there, probably all day tomorrow at least.
This means that Em had to come here this evening and will be here tomorrow. So she will miss the online meeting with her teacher in the morning and have to do some school work here. She was to have made pancakes with her mum this evening, but that didn't happen and she wants to make them here tomorrow. I will try to avoid eating them.
Didn't have another meal and BG remains high (13.5 at present).
Hope your DIL gets sorted out. I have to admit though, your BGs are a total mystery!
