Merry Christmas!

by admin - 20:36 on 25 December 2010

A good Christmas Day: books, slippers and gingerbread penguins in my stocking; a walk in the country and beside the coast; Shrek, Doctor Who, Strictly and Poirot on the television; red wine and what's become the traditional veggie lasagne for dinner; and all shared with Matchgirl. Couldn't be better.

And the bonus was enough snowflakes in the morning to qualify for a white Christmas, followed this evening by a distinct rise in temperature. No thaw yet, but it feels not far away.

This is good news for pine martens, whose egg should stay unfrozen tonight – just as well, for Master Marten turned his nose up at cat food as a substitute. Some visitors have no manners.
