Just a little note to say we made it into February already, and it looks like it could be spring soon… Whenever I write something this it usually starts to snow the next day (I hope it won’t this time!). So far, we had two mornings with sunshine (though the day I took the picture above wasn’t one of them) and a little less mud in the park during our daily walks. Just a tiny bit less, I still look as though I did a face plant in the mud when we come home, because Micro loves to jump up into my arms – preferably right after he ran through a mud puddle.

Finally Friday. What a couple of weeks the last two weeks have been! Two events for G, my first virtual talk (skyped in for questions), one parent (or rather guardian) teacher meeting, one guest dog for the weekend, a number of negotiations – and through all of it G’s flu and my random strange left ear pain. Yes, kind of ready for the weekend – and almost there!
