Dear Cat

[lph]

Dear cat. Yes, it's still winter. Actually, if you follow the old joke about seasons in Saskatchewan, it's Almost Winter. Winter is still to come, followed by Still Winter, followed by Road Repairs. No good going to both doors several times a day, it's still -20 ºC with snow everywhere.

Aw :-)

We'ved had down to -15 C for almost two weeks now, and it has made it a lot easier having an outdoor cat in a new house. Not much need to worry about her getting lost... after three minutes her butt is cold and she's mewling to be let in again :-D

I almost went to Oslo last week for a long weekend (long story). I knew it would be chilly, and dark, and I guess it's best I didn't go. Someday...
(and congrats on the new house!)

Wow! But I think you can be glad you didn't. It was bitterly cold, and there was hardly any snow to lighten things up so it's like scurrying around inside a black plastic bag. (Now however, we have loads and loads of snow, and the temperature is above freezing so it's all soaking sopping wet. Woop-de-doo.)

Come in June and I'll show you around by bike :-)

Careful, I take people up on offers like that! I don't have any vacation time in June this year, though. One week in May and one in July. I'm still trying to arrange a trip to include Bergen as well. I even looked at a fjord cruise but there was no time in Oslo I haven't given up yet! Norway's been on my list for years.

Where are you flying from? Icelandair has some good fares. Turkish Air and Aeroflot have great fares, if you want to fly 5 hours out of your way (and if you want to fly on Turkish or Aeroflot ).

You're selling your Synapse? I just got mine in October and I'm having doubts about my choice. Mine's aluminum though. I put it on the trainer, hoping I'll get used to it. But that Surly Pacer is calling me.....

I almost booked a trip to Savannah for this winter. I could have returned with a nice souvenir But, alas, 53 is too big for me, and I think I'm going to Florida instead. Thanks, though!

Dear Laverne,

I'm sorry that when my guy stays over you are kicked out of the bedroom. But that is absolutely no excuse for pooping outside the litterbox. You don't realize how good you have it.

Signed,

Someone who will not be getting you Xmas treats this year
