Morning.
I'm confused !
Anyway ! I have been out to top up the bird feeders . Georgie is still enjoying the snow which is stil lying around . He lays in wait for me and then suddenly leaps out at me as I go past . Daft really as he knows that I can see him lying in wait.
I have been looking at the tracks left in the snow and think I have found the trail of a Fox . It is hard to tell the difference as Georgie can leave large imprints when he jumps around . One of the tracks seems to show imprints of claws. There is also an area where the grass is showing through where something has been scratching around . There also a big dollop of poo there .

Prickles was awake a minute ago eating some cat biscuits . It has now gone back to bed . I have topped it back up and put some suet pellets and sunflower seed hearts in as well.

You can also set a target for new words, acronyms and phrases to add to the list. Experience says that 5 is a good point. But if you haven't been " on training" for a while you might get to that number before KP.

Sure people here will help with current English trends. You can look out for local equivalents and annexations from English.

It's KPI
And have you met them Andy! 🤣🤣

I've just got round to putting my shorts away. Somehow I've managed to accumulate 13 pairs, which were making a distinctly unstable tower in the wardrobe. All bagged up and out of the road for the next few months.

The sun has got it hat and I’m going out to play ….. just as soon as it gets a bit warmer than -4C

A poll in the local rag about how often you fill your car. The options are:

1. Once a week.
2. More than once a week.
3. Once a fortnight.
4. I never buy a full tank.

What about those of us who fill it about once every two or three months?

And a bit more would be even better
Second cuppa went down well if I hadn't already reported it ☺️

Spent a good few minutes trying to de ice the bird bath with a big screwdriver didn't make much impact as still frozen solid.

Is his first name Eric?
I have been reacquainting myself with exercise this week. Today was a slow but satisfying swim, followed by a very cold walk.

It's called CPD. Continuing professional development.
Freiburg is nice, or do you have to commute?

I wish it was. I'm getting a certificate to say I've been on a course training me in something I learned for 3 years full time. It's like sending a car mechanic on a 3 day car maintenance seminar.
In practice it isn't even that as the seminar leader has no experience in this field.
But yes, Freiburg is lovely. Fortunately I live and work North of the city.
