Good morning all. Phone tells me it's -3° at the moment......it feels 'miserable' but its too dark to see.
Main task today is to visit the solicitor and try to sort out this house sale.....its getting quite complicated.....but that's not till 1500 hrs.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Cooooeeee. O deg here and my car is covered in frost. I was to lazy to put it in the garage last night. 
I can see lots of bunnies running around the field, jumping up and down and chasing each other.
Stay safe peeps

Good weather forecast today.
I'll get out in the garden and hoover up some more leaves, then dig some manure into my raised beds.
We seem to have some inhabitants in our hedgehog house now - they've moved the straw bedding about. MrsD went down to make a cuppa earlier on and there was a hedgehog munching through a bowl full of food on the verandah.

Morning. Also minus 3 here but another dry day. Better make the most of it as we are back to slightly milder but wetter tomorrow.
Today's excitement is green bin day and a hair cut.

Good morning from a chilly Poole. There's frost on top of the hedges along the road and the house roofs ( shows that most people have decent loft insulation)
We're out tonight, meeting with friends for our annual pre Christmas get together. It's a Cheese based establishment, I suppose a new take on the cheese and wine bars that were briefly fashionable in my distant youth in Birmingham.
In other news I set the house battery to charge at cheap rate overnight and that should last a couple of days. It's possible to charge up at cheap overnight rates and sell it back at a profit during the evening peak rate but I've yet to dabble with that.
Stay warm people ☀️

Tip top news from my area. A 89 year old man crashed into the back of a parked car. He has been banned for careless driving.

Morning folks 
Had a good beach cleaning session yesterday, i was trying to seperate a tangled mess of crab pots and rope with a hacksaw as a knife wont cut through the rope. A jogger stopped to help and we dragged it all onto the golf course where the maintenance crew will take it away. 
My neighbour came to the rescue of a cyclist yesterday- she was on my loch road route and fell on the ice. She cut her head [no helmet] and was bleeding badly so neighbour took her to the local GP's to get patched up.

Got up about 8 - took a quick look outside and decided it was probably damn cold
too cold to go outside anyway - frost everywhere and thick on the parked cars
Wundermap says the local weather stations are still not above freezing
