My feet are cold in the shed office this morning !

I have the same problem in a regular heated office! last year I started looking into heated floor mats

Sunny, breezy and perishingly cold here chez Casa Reynard.

I have had an indoor morning doing general puttering around as I don't fancy being outside. Just as well I was in, because look what came in the post!

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

Had a knock on the door earlier. It was one of our neighbours to say that the hazard warning lights on the car were on. Very strange. The car hasn't been run since Monday. No signs that the car has been bumped either. How bizarre.

Did you try to start it?

Soup, sandwich, fruit and two for lunch.

Shortly about to go and fill the log bins in the house. It's too damn cold for much else.

I was just watching A Place in the Country and they showed a ruined abbey in Yorkshire . I commented that a local abbey , Stanley Abbey doesn't exist, it's completely flattened . My wife said that the locals must have been better at robbing stone in those days .
Robbing b******s!

On the greyness chart it is definitely grey out today !

I can't be snotty about that as I spend much of my free time making model trains and quite ridiculous steampunk machines...

Did you try to start it?

No, as it isn't the best at starting in the cold weather and I want to get the battery charger on it before trying to run it to avoid damaging the battery by boosting it. It'll take several hours to charge so figured I set it going in the morning. The car unlocked readily enough and the hazards switched off as soon as I pressed the button.

Our new bird feeders have arrived. I have filled one and put it out next to our other one . It should help stop the fighting over the perches.

We had 4 Greenfinches today . Word seems to be getting around .

You do realise that this will attract more birds & the fighting will continue?

-1c and freezing fog. What a lovely day to be driving a truck around the country..

Edit: it's - 2 now

I still have thick ice and snow on my trees here.

Not so bad here.

 

[Reynard]

I just spent an hour in the garden doing stuff. Was wrapped up like Mrs Bibendum (base layer, mid layer, top layer) and still got chilled through.

No fog here... yet.

Nothing wrong whatsoever with any of that!

I've catalogued the magazines, put them in protective sleeves and added them to the relevant section of archive. I will digitize the relevant bits over the weekend.
