Snow and more snow. It's the soft, fluffy kind so it won't last long. I do feel sorry for the geese who are flying over looking for land that may have grain lying on it. They can't dig so sometimes it can be a difficult time for them.
I prepared most of the lunch today. Bill saved pounds of shaggy parasol mushrooms for me that he'd found around the farm yard. If I give him one meal of them he's happy. I cooked them all up in a large pan and now I have four bags with about a 0.5kg in each one. I most likely won't be using them here but I can give them away to friends when I move around Alberta next summer. Now that's positive thinking.
I've started to sort out my packing for Cambodia. I've put the Lego table in my big suitcase and crammed things around it. I still have to deal with the two large containers of 'bricks', wheels and little people that Norma gave me along with the table. It's going to be useful in the apartment because I have no toys for the children to play with when they visit with their parents. They are usually given an iPhone to play with but I'm against that as it usually means cartoons or games. I used to have three teddy bears but Cheata has taken them. Other than the Lego I don't have much in the way of personal items to take - I brought back some shirts, which I'll leave here, and take more appropriate ones back. I need cotton rather than synthetic clothing.
I've also found cook books for Samnang, reading books for Punleu and some origami things for Oudom.
We still have no drinking water because the equipment was turned off by the plumbers and they haven't come back to turn it on again. It's a nuisance when we can't turn on a regular tap and get ordinary water.
I managed to do over 7,000 steps today and almost all of that was inside the house. There's something wrong with the heating system too; I'm boiling in the basement and freezing upstairs.
