Very strong winds and rain. Not a good day. Lit the fire much earlier than normal at 1pm – black smoke leaking from the closed door, which subsided, but fire didn't smell good for the next few hours and my throat was rasping, so had to let the fire out. Sent a message to Rod Robb at Shetland Fireplaces to give me a quote to get it fixed. I know what's wrong, the fire rope that was placed behind the glass is too thick and not the correct size, which means the door doesn't fit snug and also the outer rope is now loose too. Rod did say at the time that it probably needed redoing, but he would have to order the correct size rope for the fire. Its going to be chilly without the fire, oh well! Hopefully he can order the correct rope and its fixed soon.

14 Collared Doves, Starlings, House Sparrows, 3 Blackbirds and 1 Robin feeding in my garden today. This time last year I had a Great Spotted Woodpecker and a Hawfinch, no sign of either yet!
