Brrrrrrr! This morning 😐 8c winter weather and cold to get dressed.
Hope everyone wakes up with all their bits working 💗

No comment regarding my 'bits'   but there was a grass frost in our wee valley this morning!

I think cemeteries on crisp sunny days, with crows squawking in the trees are just right wort

I could go with the crows for a while, but in our village it's rooks, and the noise is awful!  It's also the place with the poshest houses. I wonder, which came first?  No way in these times to oust the rooks, though I remember a big rook shoot in the late 1950s.

Bowes doesn't have a lake (that I saw) Dusty, is a lake on the shopping list now is it? 

It's always on the list for me, though I'd settle for a good-sized chunk of river instead. It's something we can't have here.

The cat would be no bother at all if I got a cat flap, only I don’t want presents bringing in 😳 

Face recognition technology could solve that. Cat on its own = open flap. Cat + mouse in mouth = locked flap.

Now watch someone patent that!   

 Spiffing orangey sunset, pp.  I was going to post the clouds I snapped last night, but they're pale in comparison. So, now we're onto cats, I'll give you folks a neighbour's, sitting patiently on our field fence, hoping to see a rodent passing by:
A dry and sunny week in prospect, if a few degrees cooler. Lots to do, but where to start? I feel like I should sow some hardy annuals, but the boss says, "No!"  Things could be worse, I suppose:

If I vanish, you now know why

Good job I bought this spare, I may be setting it up as permanent
