the 2010 Wall has started

The Christmas tree is down (on January 7th, D1) and everything has been put away in the loft for another year; I tore the backs off the Christmas cards (Thank you all for sending us greetings) and they will go for recycling in a supermarket somewhere; the fronts are great for shopping lists- and we keep some in the car so when we call in on you & you aren't in, we can leave you a note. Gives the charities a second plug too as they are often written on the fronts.

D3 and I went shopping locally for some clothes last night- we did well. Apparently on E-Bay I could name my price for my pink flowered wellingtons as wellies are in such demand. It snowed again a little during the night.

H1 punctuates each day with announcements of temperature (outside- not his) so yesterday his car registered -5 externally. The goldfinches are back desperate for food- announcements on how many spuggies are on the feeder precede H1's temperature declarations.

The first picture went up on the 2010 wall.
