Jurgen, Yes it was very good, one of the best moments was saving a madman who tried to break his own leg by pulling a big rock on top of it......maybe you remember.....

Oh yes, I remember!

It`s always possible that something’s happen in the field, especially scratches, thorns in the skin or something like that.
The years before were very normal, but last year was not my year.

The bad things start with my first Trip to Switzerland in the middle of March 2012 .
After 5 min. in the field I fall on my back in a Rockslide, my back hurts for more than 8 Weeks!

I was falling two times in waterholes in Moor Area`s, standing in the water till my chest under my feeds just morass, I was a little bit in panic
At the second time I twisted my right leg and my knee was swollen for about 3 Weeks.

In Greece I was sitting on a stonewall, after I jump down, the stone wall was falling down, hit me in the legs and the biggest rock of all stop on my back.
10 min. later I was running against a branch of an Olivetree and scalp myself!

And the top of the year was also in Greece when I trapped my leg between two big rocks and had no chance to came out, Yes I remember that the Kenny-man and you saved my life.

I´m getting old. Hope for a better year 2013.

For me, winter has just begun - it started freezing, after very mild weeks. Had 17 salamanders on Wednesday :D

It started freezing here as well on Thursday after a couple of mild weeks. Found just 2 newts in a pond on Tuesday - but finding anything in Denmark in January is pretty awesome, so I'll take it :)
