Woken at 6.45 this morning by Wos,  so tired, cold and grumpy because that's not what I planned and heating has to go on for an extra hour. It's one thing getting up because you have something exciting to do and it's quite another when it's daily not your choice.

That reminds me, there's been a wonderful development next door, in Horsey's field. For years, she's arrived to do her horse chores at pre-dawn o'clock with 3 dogs in tow. Fine, but said dogs first proceed to bark at the sheep in the adjoining pasture, and then, as soon as anyone dares use the lane, they bark and snarl intimidatingly at them over a distance of 100m. 

Well, this routine is no more.  I can't give much detail, but I believe a new tenant decided running this gauntlet of harassment daily with his own well-behaved dog was too much, so he threatened Horsey with Plod. It worked.  

The dogs have always gone out for a long walk in the woods every day, so they are still getting exercise, just not at others' expense. 

I was wrong about the sunshine. We have it now, so here is an interesting cloud spotted on the last day we had blue skies:
