Ponderings

I want to know what's happening with the weather. On SUnday we woke up to fantastic sunshine and it was a lovely mild day. So much nicer than the horrible cold and wet weather we saw for most of January. On Sunday it seemed to be another great day so we moved Ruby out of the garage and really cleaned her hutch out and had her racing round the run for some decent exercise. Was most disgruntled when about 3pm the fog started to come down. Yesterday was a cold miserable misty day again and we met up with family who took us a hike round their park. Was glad to get home and then last night freezing fog. This morning is another gorgeous sunny/mild day yet our car is frozen solid.

Just been reading on some forums about Valentines Day. D and I have bittersweet memories of our first Valentines Day. He got food poisoning. We rarely acknowledhe it now as it's not a special day for us. We much prefer our anniversaries. 7th March when we first met, 11 may our engagement, 17th October our wedidng day. It's 11 years in March since I met David and 10 years in October since we got married. Our love has deepened in a lot of ways and we did go through some rough patches but we've always got through them. We've been blessed with 2 children who can be the bane of our lives while also enriching our lives so much with so much love and affection. They have their own quirky ways and I am so thankful to have been given the opportunity to be a mum and meet what I hope will be 2 lovely children when they are older.

Now I've been working with lots of Polish Children recently. Why does Oliver be Oliwer? Why is Wictoria instead of Victoria and Kacper instead of Casper??? I really would like to know the reason behind having odd spellings of names compared to just normal spellings. Some gorgeous kids from Poland though.
