Sleet this morning as I walked to the bus stop. Very chilly day and we had to have the heaters on higher than usual at work. More snow forecast this week! As another NHS member of staff said to me this morning as we got off the bus "I've had enough of that now" I agree, its all very pretty, but not practical when you need to go to work and get things done. I noted how much lighter it was now, it was light when I left work today! Looking forward to Spring here – I noticed some bulbs already shooting up in my driveway! 🌷

Oh bother, just discovered water coming in the front door at a steady pace. After investigating, the seal has gone in two places where the top section of the stable door joins the bottom half. Another little job for my builder! Took an hour to temporarily solve it (with duck tape) and three wet towels. Good job I noticed this, before I went to bed, so many of my boxes of books and more could have been ruined! One of the disadvantages of living on one level, you can't move stuff upstairs in a water emergency!
