Heard bout this a lot, find it very strange, my father 96, BIL 80 has had it 2 weeks ago, but my sister who is 65 severe Type 1 diabetic who looks after them both didn't.

Bright sunshine here now . It is minus 2C according to our car.
The birds have been fed and seem to be enjoying it . Some of the Goldfinches were looking at our mint for seeds. They must be getting fed up with sunflower seed hearts. We used to put out mixed seed but it was just a waste, a lot of it was thrown away .

Morning from the shedoffice. Cold out here - very sharp frost last night. Just started the car and ran it for 20 minutes as it's not moved for a week.

Just lost an hour of the day. Popped in the house at 10am for a brew and porridge and whilst boiling the kettle the power went off in that section of the kitchen. Argh. It's an extra worktop where the fridges sit and wasn't part of the original kitchen - was a blank wall but was a useless space. Anyway, there is only one socket down the back which we have the fridge, the freezer and the kettle plugged into via an extension lead (not ideal but it's been fine for over 10 years). Anyway, the extension lead had a fault as it blew the switch on the whole house when I was testing it. Had to empty the fridge and freezer before pulling the lot out.
Not how I intended this hour. Right, off into another meeting.

-13C here, and about an inch and a half more snow, about 4inches all together. Because it is so cold, I could move the snow with a broom. If i were still cross country skiing, it would be a day to call off work.

Bright, breezy and perishingly cold here chez Casa Reynard.
Not sure how cold it *actually* got last night, but I was struggling to keep the house at 16 degrees, even with the fire going at full tilt and a couple of oil radiators on as back up. The news said -10C in Kings Lynn, so it was probably somewhat colder here as we're in something of a frost pocket anyway.
So I had a bit of a kitchen morning because I didn't fancy doing anything outside. Made a big tub of hummus. I also made me a nice lot of Fillet Americain with some of the beef mince I picked up on sticker (I paid £1.64 for 1.1 kg of mince) and then fried off the rest. I will use some in pasties and some in a cottage pie.
Lunch in a bit. Cheese, bacon and onion toasties, methinks...

I feed mine on Guizotia abyssinica seeds (Niger). They also love Teazels, so planting a clump in the garden will have them thanking you!

Nooooo.... I was thinking maybe you could dry enough to last the next day? Do one day at a time. It would stop the mould if the wood dried.

reminds me of something a previous boss shared when a colleague of mine, in a group chat (the old days when ppl actually sat around chatting w/ each other, in person, face to face) said something to the effect of: "what I have to do, to get this done, is a pain in the a*s". to which the boss says: "if it wasn't a pain in the a*s, I wouldn't need you"

My boss once replied in a mixed meeting to the same comment with a very straight face, "if it's a pain in the a*s you're using the wrong lubricant" it sort of stopped the meeting dead.
