BJG and the mutts are still in the forest next door. They are on their morning walk. 7-9am. We will most likely eat eggs and bacon and toast for breakkie.  It is 8am. I received news from a pen pal today. He is a very kind correspondent. And writes well, very well. 

I am still without news of my ailing parents in Spain. It stresses me out a bit and I worry. The day is very grey and wet. It looks rather cool as well. I have emailed my sister in texas to know if she heard of our parents recently. Three days ago is the last time I heard of them and they were doing really badly.
