A frosty morning with blue sky. What a change from the gloom of the past three weeks. Pleased to get a blue car in the photo too.

A few early jobs (fed birds, took meter readings, checked boiler pressure, topped up bird seed tubs from bulk bags and washed yesterdays dishes), then I walked down to the shops.

I spent much of the afternoon warming up on the sofa . . . I had the heating on and a hot water bottle. I need to do a supermarket shop but decided to take the lazy option and put in an online order for delivery on Tuesday.
