Quote of the day: "I was about to say 'I hope you're impressed by what a tosser I am,' but that doesn't sound quite right...." (Mike is making pancakes for dinner!)
Most of the trees have now lost their leaves, helped by the wind over the last 24 hours:
It was bloody cold here overnight: when I took the pooch for a run in the field late last night, it was distinctly crunchy underfoot and there was frost on the gates, which is a first. Mike took some pictures this morning with his new camera, but I'm afraid you'll have to nag him yourselves to see those.
Unexpected advantages of living in this house during a cold snap: it appears that the door to the freezer (in a room we don't heat) has been open for 24 hours. Nothing had defrosted....
We hacked, this morning. It was fine, except when we were in the wind. Coming back down the road at the end was unpleasant. GB wore his winter coat for the first time today, although without the hood. We've started burning the old fenceposts. They go up incredibly quickly: I keep wandering out of the room, getting side-tracked and then coming back later to go "Bugger!" and have to poke the fire and add more of them to it. Nice and warm, though!
I'm just glad we don't live in the coast.
Jodie's foot is looking well. She went for her first walk without the bandage today: her bootie slipped down but still covered the required area, so that was good. I think she's a bit sick of being on the lead, though: she kept stopping to look mournfully into the trees.... |
