Cormorant.

Decide to get out of bed early this morning and try to get the sunrise. While it wasn't a particularly stunning one, it was still atmospheric, and worth the effort.

I have never seen this Cormorant before (Had to look it up to see what it was.) I was stood in deep slippery mud about an inch away from the icy water's edge to get this, bit annoying as I couldn't do much about the reeds, but it was a privilege to watch him/her sunning itself in the early morning sun. Jeff think it looks like it's stood on a pile of books!

Got the top half of the dresser painted, now need to start on the bottom half. It doesn't take long, it's just the waiting between coats that takes so long. 

Popped into B&Q, Tesco and The Range. Our local town was practically gridlocked with traffic, and still they build more houses and flats! Nightmare.
