reflections and windows
The bridge did get finished:
Now this may appear to be a blurry photo gone wrong – well, it is - but it is also a picture of trees reflected in chocolate so worthy of inclusion 
It is a montezuma’s very dark bar…

fox in the snow
Lots more has fallen – we are ankle deep again…
just as I was taking photos this fox came and had a good look into the garden. We do see them quite often here, but not usually when holding a camera 
then, while eating my porridge by the window this morning I noticed I had an onlooker!

swan lake
There were swans on the loch yesterday
Had a lovely day with friends morphing into a very balletic afternoon which was great fun. It’s been wonderful rediscovering ballet being for enjoyment, rather than an eternal striving (not to mention starving) for perfection. Looked out the old class music etc. I have but it’s all on cassettes – technology moved on a bit fast for me there 
Watched Fast Food Nation (quite good trailer there on amazon), fictional film based on the non-fiction book – strong stuff, a round of exploitation to go with the fries… good cast, making it very watchable though gradually more horrifying.

among the snowdrops
more snow… some little bits I’ve been meaning to mention spread among the lovely signs of spring to come
Wayne Dyer’s new program: Excuses Begone! – been enjoying listening to that – he is always so motivational and uplifting.
The Bristol Dyslexia Centre has some interesting stuff on it’s site including some free educational games taken from the Nessy learning program.
Sensory Perceptual Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome: Different Sensory Experiences, Different Perceptual Worlds
Olga Bogdashina has written a wonderful book here – helpful in very practical ways and quite refreshingly non-patronising in it’s manner of looking at autism and the associated sensory and perceptual issues. There is evidence that these may be at the core of ASDs and what is actually physiological has been treated as purely psychological for far too long by the so called experts. A fascinating read

bloggage, food and snow
First off the Home Baked blog is having a monthly baking challenge - read about it here and see January’s theme here. I’m the guest judge this month - v exciting
Then we have a new blog on the sidebar - Vegan Kid - lots of gorgeous looking food there too…
Then, thanks to the Skint Vegan blog I found an amazing bargain food site - Approved Food, sellers of clearance food and drink (close to or just by the sell by date) where I got various goodies such as 5 bottles of Mayola for £1 and 4 bags of soya mince for 99p
It snowed heavily all morning here (we were doing a 6 mile hike in the woods at the time - quite an experience in such weather) leaving great beauty all around
it’s a great expanse of layered up ice and snow that - looks like really flat land!

snow and trees
A stroll round the garden yesterday:
Wonderful things that help us through the Scottish winter: hot water bottles filled from the big kettle on the wood stove each night, so cosy for the feet and full spectrum light bulbs, good for the mood in the dark times
