My wife isn't happy with a knitting pattern that she bought . It is a pullover for me . She's angry that she is having to correct a lot of mistakes which a novice wouldn't recognize . She's also angry because she paid quite a bit for it .
I think someone is going to get an earful !

Horrible wet and stormy weather again.

It appears that Storm Bella has come back for a return visit.

I should have given her the cheap whiskey and then she wouldn't have come back..

The frost on the roof on the building opposite tells me it's not rushing to warm up. The stillness of the trees tells me Bella's gone back to Ireland. And, though I dislike the cold and walking, I'm so fed up with being indoors that I am considering an outing into the countryside for a change of scenery. I'm classing this as a necessary journey.

Still, clear and bl**dy cold here chez Casa Reynard.

I have spent the day clearing up Bella's mess. I think she was a tortoiseshell cat in a previous life... The top that snapped off the leylandii has been trimmed and is now ready for turning into logs. Actually, the two big branches snapped off a while back given how dry the wood is, but Bella finally dislodged them for me. The small stuff is pretty well much fine for burning, while the bigger bits will probably want another year of seasoning prior to use.

Used my cycling glove liners under my gardening gloves as it was too cold otherwise. Also, a pair of lycra tights under my work jeans. OK, not the sveltest look, but hey, I was toasty warm.

Am now going to spend the rest of the day relaxing.

Don't need to cook. There's a big pork pie in the fridge that wants a dent putting in it. And I have 38 sausage rolls.

Never went that far up the ladder!

Three rungs is my limit!

Not that I'd have been happy standing on the tables. Or even one of them.

The mist has turned into fog and will likely be back to mist tomorrow once it warms up again.

Went to near Manchester airport to collect the bargain Mavic front track disc I'd won on eBay on Christmas Day and came to the conclusion it's cold out. The nice seller was an ex-track sprinter turned bobsledder.
