Hi Colleen

Cold , a tad snowy in some parts of the UK

Sounds awesome apart from the snow. I celebrate what we call Ukrainian Christmas here so it's pretty cool to have Christmas lasting for around a month. Makes me feel better about all the decorating and baking we do.

 

[Anhelyna]

That was a FANTASTIC end to Christmas

It was held in an RC Centre - well over 300 present , and even better - not all were Ukes or UGCC folk - we had some Russians present [ including Pani Matushka who trained the dancers ] A few came from the RC Church whose premises we used [ and they were stunned by the fun we were having ]. We had to put up several extra tables - food was no problem .

I suspect there will be many more functions like that

Oh, that sounds great. I would love to attend something like that. Watching the dancing is something I enjoy. My mom use to make the twelve dishes every year.

 

[Colleen1]

Well, I'm off. I hope you have a good day.

Oh, that's cool. I'll have to see if I can find it on you tube.

how's life for our resident neighbor to the North?

 

[RobNJ]

Must be a lot of snow around. We seem to have more flakes than usual, lately

Who me? Well, I'm rather tired but okay. How are you?

We have been getting a whole lot of snow here.

 

[Anhelyna]

Again - this is the third morning I have had a 'dusting' . It actually looks like the dusting of sugar [ icing - powdered type] on top of a cake.

By mid afternoon it has melted and overnight it comes back.

Oh sounds pretty..the icing sugar. Not sure if the melting would be pretty but it sounds nice and warm. We've had 2 bouts of like 5 inches of snowfall here. A whole lot more than last winter. We do need the moisture though so I won't complain.

 

[ArmyMatt]

Who me? Well, I'm rather tired but okay. How are you?

tired, sick as a dog, but no worse for wares.

Aww, not fun. Sorry to hear this. I can relate. I've had the flu 3-4 times since August and no flu shot cause I was ill when it came out. Obvious to me now that getting the shot is better for me than not getting it. Takes me much longer to get over the flu each time than a day or two of side effects from the vaccine. I hope you feel better soon.

 

[MariaRegina]

Hope you all are recovering from the flu.

Take a page from Australian history.

During WW2, the Australians could not afford to come down with the flu, especially their military. So, they cut down eucalyptus branches and had all the soldiers march around their barracks in bare feet trampling down the leaves. This released a lot of good healthy aromatic compounds found in eucalyptus leaves.

Upshot: while many soldiers across the globe were sick with the flu, the Australians remained healthy and alert.

You can get eucalyptus essential oil from the local health food store. Put some under your nose or on your neck. Rub some on your hands after shaking other's hands.

Of course, you can consult your doctor, but they have probably never studied alternative health and would not even know what a eucalyptus tree looked like.

Thanks. You know, I have to say that that doesn't really surprise me. I have gotten some of the lotion they use at this clinic I go to. It makes me feel better. It has mint, eucalyptus and sage. I'm not big on sage too much but every time I use that on my feet or muscles, it makes me feel better.
