It snowed! It just started barely before dark so the kids didn’t get to play in a lot. It’s a lot heavier now so I hope it sticks long enough for us to get to play in it in the morning..
What a lovely picture!
No snow here, just drizzle and a very cold wind!
Happy Monday all. A bit gray & overcast here today as Heather’s “snow storm” moves toward the north east. It will push by just south of us. Rest of our week looks nice - we already have a kayaking trip planned for Thursday.
Today...is put away tool day. Yep, each project requires more & more tools to be hauled up, but not put away. So, it’s tool day.
We bought a new seat for our family/TV room over the holidays & had put the old couch in the garage. Local pickup for such bulk items isn’t available until March! Sooooooo, we cut it all up into little pieces. Disposed of the metal bits/springs into recyclables, and I burnt up the wood that I couldn’t save first. All gone.
All the Christmas decorations are down now. Used yesterday’s nice wxr to haul the big ladder out & up to retrieve our very large wreath.
Enjoy!

It hit a balmy 8C/46F high here today. Much warmer!
A bit of variety at the rescue today.
Hedgehogs of course:
A male kestrel - one of our smaller birds of prey
A female chaffinch about the size of a sparrow
And definitely not wildlife - a peahen! She had an argument with a fox and is being treated for a wing injury. She belongs to one of the patrons of the rescue charity. Her name is Chickpea

That’s usually how it is for us.. nothing to show for the miserable conditions!!! Lol..
We did get to play a bit this morning though.
What a beautiful peacock! I have always loved them.. even down to the loud unusual screech’s that they make ?It hit a balmy 8C/46F high here today. Much warmer!

Good afternoon/evening all.
Hope you are enjoying your Mondays.
The most exciting thing I've done today is walk to a local shop to stock up on food for Lola.
Not that he cared - he didn't come out to play today.
I'm heading off to bed soon so I'll say Nos da for now.
Take care

A few more pics of our little “snow storm”... it’s all gone now of course but it was fun while it lasted.. I’m headed out of town for work fir a couple days so I’ve got to catch my zzzz’s.. must roll out around 3am..
Normally I am a misery about snow. As a teenager in Yorkshire it meant getting up early to dig out the drive and then to the main road which had been ploughed.
This year I would really like some!
My excitement for yesterday was putting something in my diary for next week. I made an appointment to take some things to out local household waste tip... I can hardly contain my excitement ?
I just got the excellent news that vaccination has finally started in Buxton and Mum gets done on Saturday
JoesDad’s father got his first jab before Christmas and the second last week. Mother in law gets her first done this afternoon

At least she got a couple of good slaps across the face delivered to that ? fox before he hurt her?
the fox must have been like....
“wth?”
“Why are all these feathers hitting me at once!?”
“Ooooohhh.... they are attached to a wing..
Oh!..... now I get it! “
“ok ... lady! ..... pppfflttt....????????????????????
Now it’s my turn! “
I am soooo sorry. This is not funny!
Poor wee bird...
He is gorgeous though....
I always try to put myself in the situation to see how the animals felt...?
But it is not funny at all that they hurt each other.....☹️ I am a stupid head for having a laugh ...? my apologies.. please take good care of the bird and go find the fox!?
He might still have a feather buried in his nose....
I find myself screaming at the picture for your husband to take his hand off of that shoulder????
I’m sorry .... but I’ve grown protective of Jess now..?
