Outer extremities

Our top temperature today has been +5C. Pathetic. 

Gardening at G's this morning left me frozen in parts, despite being active for more than two hours. Those parts in particular were my feet, fingers, nose and ears: my extremities. It was a relief to get into the car and put the heater on. 

Bean slept snug and warm, tucked under her car duvet all morning. Seriously. It's a dog's life...

There is nothing quite like a wood fire on a day like this. Heaters heat the body, but woodburners somehow also heat the soul. So the potbelly was lit and we have spent the afternoon in the study. 

The sewing pile has diminished a little more and my emails are all up to date. The monthly budgeting is complete. And I have even caught up with Blip.
