Naps in White Satin

Since I was born in the good old stone age I remember a song called 'Nights in White Satin' by Moody Blues and I thought a little traversion would make a nice headline for this thread. Do you remember that song, too? Anyway, this week's theme is snow because we're having a very white winter almost everywhere. The winners are our dear white, fluffy friends who have been able to enjoy their original element for weeks now.


The four-leaf-glover have, of course, been very creative and innovative as always. Teddybärenmutti has been their secretary again and the co-operation resulted in a new story:


Schnee, Schnee, Schnee/Snow, Snow, Snow

DUMBA -- Gandy returns your greetings! He says you found a fine specimen of goose there! Sam also appreciates the black cat--except the tail could be a little longer... :-)))

LUDMILA -- Was the girl this morning your daughter or another member of the team? Does the scholarship depend upon them winning this meet?
I find the whole shelter/humane society/euthanasia problem distressing to say the least. Hopefully the spay/neuter clinics and an educated public will drastically reduce the number of unwanted cats and dogs

LUISA -- Many bear hugs to you.

Hello folks!
Thank you for the good wishes and for the keeping your fingers cross. Unfortunately today in the morning were crying time. At competitions are only two possibilities, the girl is happy or she is crying. I hope of the evening session. If it would not be good, it is not the end of life too. I would try to do the best with cheering up.
Sarsam
I know the shelter have no easy life with the animals. But I think the humane association has the philosophy for the doing. Our shelter do not euthanise the animals. I think we have the law against it in Germany.
I wish you all a nice evening.

Hello Doris, happy birthday to you. If you are going to write here, we are drinking here a knusecco of your new life age. Lady Flocke and Gianna are waiting at the beauty salon with a special offer for you this evening.

Waiter, can I drink a hot tea, please? Yes, only a cup of tea. Oh I had heard, you wil be a knuporter at the Bärlinale. Are you going to inform us about all news from there?

Mervi, I sent an sms to Mr. Petrus, but I hope he could read it. It could be, that his handy is closed, because he had recieved a lot of sms about this theme. I sent you a personal message at your inbox.

Greetings Knutilda

MERVI -- Well, that was a "bummer"--Gandy eyeballed the snow from a distance and would not go near it!! He didn't even offer to beak it when I held some under his nose/beak! Hmmmm--maybe I should have guessed--he does like his bath water warmed slightly..... :-))

Wir fahren ins Arbeit auf Autobahn Turku-Helsinki. heute war es sehr genau peflugt. Es war wie im Sommer. In helsinkin ist ein SchneeChaos gewesen. Gestern war in Helsinki Ostsee-Konferenz. Wo Herr Putin. König von Schweden usw besuchten war alles Schnee plötzlich weg und ausgeräumt. Mirakel.!!!!!!!!

Schön hier zu lesen, dass alle gesund in Knuipe sind.

...........................

Ich erlaubte am 4.4. Tisch Nummer 5 zu bestellen.

Mervi - a snowmobile is a brilliant idea. Aber es ist teuer !!! Do you know whether a snowmobile has a heating?

Knuti-Judi - the photo of Nikolai Viertel made my Reisefieber rise again!

Caren - Why don't you hire a snowmobile, hahaa....??

Patricia - I find your advice to Sarah simply brilliant! - Our flat is a nightmare for home decorators. Everything's been arranged to suit Mimmi and Nalle so you can imagine how elegantly furnished our home is. - I haven't heard anything from Annemarie lately, maybe she is in Bärlin now.

Sarsam - I'm very curious to hear about Gandy's reaction when he/she feels the snow. He/she seems to be quite a gourmet, too.

Dear Patricia - I can understand that you regret it not to be able to say good-bye to FloRa. Raspi sends you very special geetings and asks how your piggy bank is doing and he hopes to meet you later in Antibes.Also he would like to know whether you would like his jute material for a fancy dress as they have decided to wear their natural clothes. I smell that he would like to make a new business with you and furthermore he would love to assist you with the billing.

Hi MERVI -- That is a very good question about Gandy! How stupid of me not to bring some in for him to try--I'll do that when I take a break this afternoon and report back :-)) He is an unusual goose--his favorite "treats" are monterey jack cheese (cut in narrow strips), russet potatoes (also cut in narrow strips), peanuts (well not eating them so much as the fun of opening them), and carrots (he just beaks off small pieces and can eat a whole small to medium-sized carrot in one session). He also likes a wee bit of bread from time to time (only white, and right now only Big Y store-brand)......

Good evening Dear All,
Seems everybody made it back home (b car, by skies, by gliding on the boomsie, or by ordinary public transport).
Dear Sarah, You made me laugh again. Oh yes, re-arranging the rugs in the house is something on which cats do have the exclusive patent, I am afraid. Sometimes, I can retrieve mine every where in the house, but never on their right place!! And the most funny thing is to watch their fights with these evil things. Man, you cannot believe how brave they are then to conquer and destroy the enemy. And poor you, being obliged to go to Skye and not even liking whisky. That is what I call a real punishment!!!! But let me give you a good advise. It is now becoming time to prepare your ?sweet revenge?. With Easter, you are offering your soul and heart and love to accompany dear knusband to Skye. Well, tell him that he has then on his turn be obliged to do the same but in the direction of Berlin in September. What do you think of that !!!!
Dear Mervi, of course, I will also like to participate in the meeting in The Knuipe on April 4.
Dear Caren, I enjoyed your report on the Carnival preparations of the Nuremberg Gang. They are all two so adorable. And now, I also know that it will not be possible to come for the FloRaVe meeting. As it is again the end of a billing month, it is not easy to get free and since I am already arranging the same for my Berlin visit, I accepted it (I realize that I cannot ask such things too often because my colleague has to ?suffer? during my absence). But nevertheless, I truly regret it.
Dear Knuti-Judi, hihihihihi, hope your hiccups are over (but I will only start within two weeks with my special plans).
Dear Ludmila, considering that everybody here in The Knuipe is crossing fingers and toes and tails, your daughter and her team cannot but win.
By the way, I have a little question. Annemarie told us a while ago that she would go to Berlin at the beginning of February. Is somebody having any further news about her????
And furthermore, I also realized that I am missing some friends here: Eva, Luisa, Erika, Viktor, Dave, and Retta, where are you ???? Hope everything is OK with you all.

knuti-judi - wow, that's a nice pic. Thank you so much. It gets me into a very special mood.

Mervi - Cross Country to Nuremberg? Well I should have started this morning to reach Nuremberg on Saturday. Well that is the right thing for someone as sporty as I am.

Thanks, I could do with a big green blanket tonight.
