I could just repeat yesterday's post! Still freezing cold here, and more snow overnight. The lowest temperature recorded today was -2.4C, with a wind chill of -8C. Whilst others have been clearing their driveways from snow, I haven't bothered yet as don't need to go anywhere, but will have to this weekend, as can't see it melting anytime soon and I return to work on Monday.

Tons of birds feeding in my front garden. The ice on the bird pools was far harder to smash out with the hammer than yesterday. Organic apple number two was put outside and my Fieldfare returned! The same battles with the Blackbirds ensued, but the Fieldfare was much more fiesty today and won more rounds than the Blackbirds I felt. No cats in sight, far too cold for the local ginger cat to sit under the fuchsia bush in wait! 😆😼

I have a horrible birthday coming up on the 27th, not looking forward to it one bit – I have booked the day off work and will probably stay in bed all day! I suppose a positive way of thinking about it, is the fact that its better to reach that birthday than not, so fingers crossed!!! 😊
