Think we will miss the snow - I haven’t got the time or energy to deal with all that!
Glass half full moment today… I fancy it’s a tad lighter on the work commute. Only a smidge, and only compared to pre-Crimbo but a move in the right direction.
Hope you’ve all had a good day. Take care out and about.
I find it one of life's pleasures coming outside first thing in the morning with my cuppa and listening to the birds. Their singing as the day goes along seems to be full of joy and hope.
Pleased to say that my turkey, smoked bacon and leek pie with a mashed potato topping was quite a success. OH thought it a touch bland but then he likes spicy food like most men. Trouble is after trying to use up left over turkey, I've now got more leftovers - smoked bacon medallions and two rather large leeks, as well as the remaining defrosted turkey I didn't need. I'll now have to buy baps for the bacon for sarnies tomorrow, it's a hard life.
Anybody else watching the Digging for Britain programme, we're finding it fascinating.
The birds are going bananas round here as well, we've got pairs of robins and blue tits. The sparrows were inspecting NDN's bird boxes yesterday, loads of goldfinches eating us out of house and home and one lonely bullfinch waiting his turn.
Digging clashes with dancing @Lizzie27. Viennese waltz, rumba and bolero tonight. Viennese wotsit makes me sea sick.
I keep finding sparrows raiding the chook nest boxes for straw for their own nests. Rasta is due a haircut soon and I'll ask for the clippings and put them out for nest lining. No idea what they'll make of it but it should be cosy.

Just watched the Christmas Call the Midwife, brought back all the memories of when my daughter was born 46years ago bum first, that’s a eye waterer. Follwed it up with a Christmas cartoon film made in 1942. Was lovely.
