January 15th

the Hedgehogs had eaten well and as well “transformed a bit” their cage. At 7.47 a.m. we have tried to release the Song Thrush > however without success, because indeed flying was impossible !! Today arrived from Holland a shipment “cloth clamps” (10 pieces) to complete our surgery-sets > the envelope needed 32 days to arrive over here !! With a lot of problems we could continue with the electricity in the House-next-door: in the room for trainees a 2^nd bedlight was put in. And while normally speaking the outdoor-cats “Poekie” and “Vriendje” (= “Buddy”) can drink each other’s blood, this morning they were spotted laying against each other (but just not yet in each other’s arms) sleeping on an old military sleeping-bag on a chair in our courtyard. And such cases of course only can happen in Greece, where people still have to go to the tax-office to pay, and where one is showing an excessive politeness for the “clergy-men”.
