Shrouded cellars

It's so cold and windy that I worry that we have missed out summer and sped straight to autumn. The stone masons have wrapped up their pointing work to protect it from this awful weather.

I would have set off early this morning to hunt for another set of cygnets, but when I saw the rain I decided to exercise indoors instead. The rest of the day I have been dealing with email and planning the huge amount of reading and assessing (amongst other tasks) that I have to complete over the next couple of weeks.

Exercise today: strength training; 55 minutes on the exercise bike.
