Ready for spring sowing.

A good night's sleep. I woke early reluctant to get up as it was so cold even though the heating was on. However a shower helped things and I piled on the layers and came downstairs to breakfast.  The cars were sparkling with frost but I didn't have to go anywhere so did the usual puzzles then began to work out my finances for the new financial year that starts in April. I was a bit apprehensive as to how it would work out given all the rising prices but all seems to be well. It's a first draft and I'll tidy it up at the end of the month.  Linda phoned and gave me a break in the middle. One of her daughters-in-law is due to have twins in the next few days and in a fortnight's time will be moving into a new house. The other son's wife is expecting too so it's all happening. Went to Brigend Garden Centre in the afternoon to buy a second fat ball feeder then had a wander nearby looking for a blip.  The Howe of Fife is all newly ploughed fields at the moment so had a walk along a field edge. The cold was bitter and my hands felt as if frostbite might set in anytime.  I had to sit in the car for a while to let them thaw out before I went to the Co-op in Muchty to see if they had Marmite. I forgot to buy it yesterday.  They did and also had butteries so I brought a pack home and toasted a couple to have with my afternoon tea.  Just in time as snow began to fall as I put the kettle on.  Checked that there was plenty of bird food but the snow didn't last.  Who knows what I'll wake up to tomorrow though.
