    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I'll not be safe for a few days yet though. Many bangs in the vale yesterday.

    I had a pheasant attempt to enter my car through the drivers side window the other day. Just caught it out of the corner of my eye, and then BANG !!!! Feathers everywhere :eek:

    They say driving fast on country roads is dangerous, but if i'd been doing 80 instead of 70 it would have missed me completely :T

    Probably Londoners with their own business, rather than locals.

    You can never trust what you're told anyway ... buyer presented strongly as "cash..." but it's not cash is it ... it needs his house to sell. That's not cash, that's "future cash yet to be realised", to borrow a farcical phrase.

    It'd also have missed you if you'd been proceeding at the country road speed limit of 60mph.

    Done twenty minutes of weeding in garden. Got frozen. Came back indoors.

    There are hints of spring all around... snowdrops, daffodils poking up, even a few late winter shrubs in flower... but no booger has told the weather.

    Tis cold outside.

    I love to pootle. Pootling means the wildlife misses me, but i miss none of the wildlife. My dad in particu
    Ar is often amazed when i make him reverse to see a bird of pret sitting on a fence post close enough to touch, or a hare hiding in the long grass. No point in living out here unless you enjoy it.

    This morning i read a fantastic 'pony book' This morning, caroline akrill's flying changes. Reviews said it was dark, but it really was, for the genre! and an interview with her said a lot was cut out that was darker. It really caught the obcessive destructive nature of some types of equestrianism.

    Must be miler where you our, our soil is like rock today.

    I walked around the garden this morning, the snowdrops are still rampant, but perhaps not as good as last week. My beautiful, beautiful poppies foliage has been frosted, i have probably lost them :(. Daffs have been out for a week or so in the local town, and my tulips are popping up, i have a daff almost ready to open. I took the last buds off the roses recnetly, to try and send strngth to roots not buds that wouln,t have opened. Weird old year.
