Misty had lots of fun on the marsh this morning and was very happy that the ice has finally melted so she could have fun in the marsh pools.  Its definitely warmed up quite a bit and I was actually hot whilst walking Misty despite having less layers on.  Had a very long chat with my Aussie sister this afternoon and as usual we had a laugh and talked about everything under the sun.  The afternoon just disappeared and managed to get Misty out for another walk before it got dark.  Heard on the tv this morning that its been 50 years ago today that we went from pounds, shillings and pence to decimalisation.  I remember it well :)
