At first glance this is not an picture to raise the spirits. However, it does show that I actually went outside today, which is a great improvement on the past few days. The cold is finally in retreat and I feel optimistic that I will bouncing around in a few days.

Trees were stood up again, lights were wrapped around them, various garden tasks were achieved and the bird feeders were bought inside. I even managed a little shopping and cooking.

As the picture shows grey skies and rain continued. The ground has that special sogginess that comes from it being hard frozen, except for the top centimetre which has re-thawed in the mild weather and then become saturated with water.

Tomorrow this bird feeder will be filled with fat balls and the others will also be in place, loaded with peanuts and sunflower seeds. We're home again birds!!

Now, if we could just have a little snow please...

2 02 My optimism by Dave Morton

I have found a seat at the clubhouse end, so if Sedge do manage a comeback, I will see it. The low sun will play havoc with the autofocus, though, as this shot shows.

Too bad, I'm here, and comfortable, and I'm not moving again.
