Koko

Posted on January 30, 2006February 20, 2017 by Ian C.

Our neighbours Pat & Dave finally got a dog this last weekend (they have been thinking about it for a long time) – they got 3-4 month old Koko from the local animal rescue, but he was actually rescued from the streets of Puerto Rico and brought here … He is a little timid but very playful once he is comfortable with you – and of course gets tired quickly because he is only a baby!

I’m sure Pat & Dave will have great fun with Koko in the years to come …

Spoke too soon – snow!

Serves me right for saying “winter is easy this year” … yesterday we were hit with about 6″ of heavy wet snow; not too much when we got up (maybe 2″) but it kept going through much of the day …

At work, more and more snow as the day progressed:

It took me about 3/4 hour to clear the driveway when I got home, so that we could park our cars – GBMINI is not at all keen to climb over snowbanks!

Aruba 2006

Posted on January 21, 2006February 20, 2017 by Ian C.

Last week, with Margarets USA passport finally arrived, we booked a last minute trip to Aruba to get some sun & warmth – although winter so far this year has been very easy (the fish pond is not frozen at all!)
We enjoyed a very lazy week on the beach and rarely left the hotel except to get food in an excellent nearby restaurant called Tango (they had fabulous steak and other meats, and a so-so live tango dance every hour; best of all was their “Tango crepe” dessert!).

Some pictures (though I didn’t take many on this trip):
