We have got a lot this year, 20+ at one time along with 6 Chaffinches and 5 Greenfinches. The Greenfinches have now disappeared but we still get a dozen Goldfinches and 5 Chaffinches.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... 
Just went out to get some wood to top up the bins in the house. It is damn cold. More so than this morning. Any further forays into the garage this afternoon to work on my model have been put on ice.

Well, seeings that certain types of glue are still made from bones...
Gawd, I remember the stink of the animal glue that dad used to use when he ran an upholstery workshop. That smell is just so distinctive. The stuff came as a solid brown lump, and you had to warm it up in a double pan prior to use...

My compost bin (a large wooden box, without a lid) contained very soggy compost. How does freeze drying work?
I took the lid off the water butt and discovered that ice makes interesting patterns under the surface. Rather like the shape of leaves at a angle of 45 degrees. Is there is a scientific name for that?
Is there a word for "being so interested in ice patterns that you drop your garden trowel into the water butt"?
Fortunately it is a very old one, and will eventually be discovered in the summer.
In other news, the house opposite now has folding scaff at the front. New people moved in down the road on Wednesday.
