In complete contrast to the week's commuting weather it was clear, blue, sunshine filled skies in this corner of Suffolk today.

Having not used the car since Christmas Eve, I was surprised to find that it started without too much effort once the heavy frost had lifted, so I took it for a run up to Stowmarket and back to put a bit of charge back into the battery.

A late afternoon bike ride followed, but I should have worn thermal long johns as the temperature dropped quite quickly when the sun set and some delicate parts directly in the airflow went into hiding!

Awh, she does look rather woebegone, doesn't she...

I've found a solution to this issue. I am currently sat on the footstool, with the laptop on the armchair and cat on the lap.

Mmmmm, a self-heating, vibrating hot water bottle! Just the ticket for a cold winter's night.

All the Siamese and Orientals I know are suckers for warm spaces to curl up in.

She’s a licker too, so my legs usually get a wash!

And an exfoliation - if Lexi's tongue is anything to go by.

Lexi is a licker, but she prefers to do faces and forearms.

I woke up early but I'm now going back to bed. BBC Radio 3 can be pretty restful on a Sunday morning.

Morning. The Met Office app says that today’s temperature will rise to 6 degrees C. Woohoo!
