Putting things off in life

[shootingstar]

eh, why duplicate the thoughts.

I'll let Duck on Wheels post the tale of her trip when she's rested. Our mutual 80+y.o. Mom called this morning in between trying to fit an errand and a little gardening before our mutual niece and her son (mutual great nephew) arrive for a weekend with her. Anywho ... Duck had a conference in London that just ended when kablooiee!!!

Sounds like she and her grad students put together a way to make their way safely home throughout Scandinavia. Very resourceful and plucky those Norwegians even the ones who were born in CA.

Duck should be back in Hell (that's Hell, Norway folks ) soon with maybe a stop or two along the way.

It's usually her DH's trips that get cancelled by disaster:
"I'm going bike touring in China! ooops, there's avian flu ..."

Should be quite interesting to hear from Duck soon. I understand the trains had to accommodate up to 46,000 people across Europe during this natural disaster.

Part of our trip includes Copenhagen...he's going to an international cycling conference. Our trip will include visit to his 82 yr. old uncle in Germany. In good health but visit may be last time to see him.

At the very least, this spring in Europe may be full of more surprises than expected. Wonder if at all the weather in some areas will be affected. Probably won't know until we look backwards in time several months from now.

But I'm prepared to cancel trip if necessary.
