Errands done (still no bloody mount card ), onesie and fluffy socks on and now about to make myself a well-earned

Then might settle down with the writing project for a bit, as other than wanging a potato in the oven, I don't need to cook tonight.

The local art shop has a framing service and they're selling offcuts as packages.

Hark the sound of ice scraping
Lovely clear blue sky here in Poshshire

I've just put another log on the fire.

( Be careful what you own up to)
Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon and some beans.
And go out to the car and change the tyre.
Wash my socks and sew my old blue jeans.
Come on, baby, you can fill my pipe,
And then go fetch my slippers.
And boil me up another pot of tea.
Then put another log on the fire, babe,
And come and tell me why you're leaving me.

After a quiet few days, the avian population has descended on the bird feeder in force!
3 sparrows, 5 ish goldfinches, the inevitable squabbling starlings, a few tits, (blue & coal), and 2 pidgeons snacking on the dropped food underneath.

Morning.
It is frosty here with bright sunshine and clear skies. It was a bit chilly when I put our garden waste bin out. The bin has been emptied and I will go out and collect it .

My favouritist peep left Cake Off last night ! It won't be as much fun now !

If I was there I would have thrown my cake mix at Haul Pollywood and Lrue Peith .

MIL's window bird feeder has fallen off and broken at her Nursing home. We've had daily calls about getting it. Ordered a new one off amazon, which has all the requirements, removable seed tray that has holes in for drainage etc etc. It arrived yesterday - no blooming suckers for the window. Packaged back up, filled in return, took to local shop - erm nope - the UPS code amazon gives isn't compatible with the UPS system. Go home and dig into the return options to find the Royal Mail returns label. Print off.

MIL phones again - have you got it... yes, but it's faulty. Re-ordered this morning, and it's gone up by £3.
She will phone again today , and tomorrow. She forget's about Covid, and not bringing in stuff that might be contaminated.

Oh dear! I have umpty twelve Things To Do, and do not know where to start. Discombobulations!

Thought about doing nothing until some inspiration arrives. That might take some time.....

So What "urgent" tasks do I need to do? Or tasks Not To Do, for example not watch the Lunchtime Mews.

Put baby plantlets in pots into the Coldframe.

Can anyone suggest anything else?

@postman - thank you for reminding me to insulate the outside tap.

Do the lattes and cake need a bus ticket?

White roof here this morning as well.

There hasn't been any rain since about 9am. It must be some kind of record.

If it doesn't rain soon the council will be issuing drought warnings and a hosepipe ban.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Still no winner in the U.S. Elections. Other than that, everything is just fine here, although we have another Covid lock down on restaurants etc.
