Today is a Big Day. Although I’m still a bit under the weather with a sore throat and general grottiness, I am going to pick myself up and head to Wrocklawek with Andrzej and Malgorzata, where we’ve been invited for tea and cake by Elzbieta, half the staff of Leon the Hiking Cat. I am told that we will then repair to the forest, where I’ll be allowed to hold Leon’s leash, and go looking for elk and deer. I hope to film Leon in action. Although Ben Goren may tout the outdoor virtues of Baihu, that Arizona tabby could not, I think, walk 6 km uphill in the snow!
Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili is being her usual solipsistic self. Today’s dialogue even has a title:
MODESTY
Hili: I’m an important part of the Universe.
A: An indispensable part.
SKROMNOŚĆ
Hili: Jestem ważną częścią wszechświata.
Ja: Niezbywalną.

” let your own discretion be your
tutor. Suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special observance, that you o’erstep not the modesty of nature: for anything so overdone is from the purpose of playing”
Of course not — it’s only in the far frozen north that you even get 6 km of snow in the first place! Here, even 1 cm of snow is a once-in-a-decade sort of thing.

Eager for the follow-up post & pictures. 🙂
