    A gal's gotta have some fun, right? So I've taken up show jumping. This is me and my dear Truls:

    It's great for dispelling those winter time blues. We've got between 20 and 30 cm (8-12 inches) of snow outside, delivered yesterday and the day before. *sigh*

    Well, gotta dash, I've got more show jumping to do. :D

    So, did you ride Truls to the Great Wall of China, or did you both take a plane ride? ;)
    If Truls likes broad-jumping, I think he could tackle the Grand Canyon.

    A foot of snow, I would tell them to take it back. :) Mongol hordes would have appreciated a horse like Truls that could jump the great wall.

    Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane....no it's Super Truls and his faith full sidekick Droopy.

    Don't give her any more ideas, Great Wall of China, Grand Canyon, Victoria Falls, the Dubai Tower.

    :D I'm sorry about all my mischievous behaviour but I very much want to get my hands dirty. The snow's raining away at the moment so with any luck we might get digging sometime next week. :D I can't remember having looked so much forward to back aches before. :D

    The girls have already started planting. On a small table next to our window there's a rather big pot full of soil. The girls put a potato in that pot, and now they're eagerly waiting for shoots to appear. They're such sweet, little darlings. :D
