morning (here)?


All very interesting. I have been stuck at -3 all evening outside.
Inside I reached 18C for the first time since Sunday so pretty pleased
about that.


... We've been feeding for several days now: all of a sudden, the bird
world is loving us! Don't forget water as well - that's often the
problem in this sort of weather.

Yes - good point. The ominously bulging water main outside is
providing a new leak I noticed today.
However I have located out of date sultanas, a large crumble mix,
Gourmet catfood normally stocked for the 'Bedford Claws' and there is
some spelt flour that can go. A feast for them!

I note that BBC refered to 'light snow' on Sunday in a brisk wind, so
nothing too dramatic it seems
