“So long as there are still books on the shelves, you are never trapped. Every book is a potential escape.” 
- The Midnight Library Matt Haig (2020)

Todays pic of my regular morning visitors who come for breakfast, but not until after the starlings have feasted on most of the bread. 

A day that included two hour walk with the woofer in bright but bitter cold sunshine. Started a new Audible book: "The Midnight Library" (Matt Haig 2020) - so far so good - very well narrated (Carey Mulligan). Late afternoon bro came and Maddy (my niece) also called for a couple of hours this evening, I watched sth on Netflix and started a portrait sketch that I've been wanting to do for a while. The temperature fell to  -4ºC during the day but is now back to -2ºC although when I took Rufus out at10pm the pavements were sparkling like diamonds -it's going to be a cold one tonight.
