[QUOTE 4655083, member: 21629"]Not mundane at all. Anti-mundane I would say.

Came back home after work and then went to shop only to buy something to drink. The outcome of that is:

There's a very fine dusting of snow about this morning. Either that or it's wind-borne frost.

Cor! It looks taters out there this morning.

My office chair is broken, one of the wheels does not touch the ground any more so it leans. I now have to spend ages adjusting a new one

I'm heading out for a walk. It looks freezing outside. Brrrrrr

I'm contemplating a short walk but youngest Summerling is still asleep and I'm waiting to see how they are when they wake up (he was feeling ill and didn't go into school yesterday).

Brrrrrr..... it's cold out there! My car is almost white with frost.

Mine too, although it was white to start with so it's hard to tell

It's so cold here I've just seen a robin ice-skating in the bird bath

Our window cleaner has just been, (minus 3 here). I asked him if he wanted some warm water for his bucket and when he said yes put the kettle on for him and topped it up, mind you the offer of a cuppa was declined " I'll be peeing for England" was his comment, gotta be about the worst job in this weather.
Mind he was glad not to be sticking his hands into cold water for a bit.

I hope he feels better soon. Here No 1 son is packing and flies back to Botswana tonight. We won't see him again till September and we'll miss him.

He's finally appeared ... looks well enough to have gone into school but I couldn't have told that when he was asleep!

It must be hard when they are abroad.... will he be back in September for good or just another break?

I have not long been up. Went to bed at 8.30 yesterday, which may amaze you all with me being here at Hops

Fantastic nights sleep accompanied by the lovely Bramble who is now off out in the sunshine cavorting.

It looks rather chilly outside and Hop said she had to break the water on horse trough for her friends horses that she is looking after. Therefore i will take that as

Morning, I'm a bit late this morning, it is mild outside and the sun is breaking through.
My wife told me that we had plenty of bird food ! I didn't see it. I was wondering what the rules of this bird counting game was. Do the birds have to be in your garden and do ones that fly over count? Wouldn't it be more representative of the count was done over three days and then averaged out? That way I could have a 1/3 rd bird.

 

[Hill Wimp]

When I had a horse I used to do that at 6 am every day in the winter. Now, I can't actually believe I ever did such a thing.

Me too. In fact when Hop and i went to do them yesterday morning i said that same thing.

We put it down to being young and foolish.

I queried this years ago with the BTO. A bird flying over counts if it is 'using' your land, ie hunting etc.
