Dry and calm here in South Cambs
No excitements lined up for today, but they happen anyway. Had just stoked up the fire to a good flame now, when the chimney started to roar like a jet engine at take off. I thought the chimney was on fire, and waited for the downpour of hot soot. Nothing. Then a great mass of burning twigs landed in the hearth. Yup. A jackdaw's nest had been hit by a spark, caught fire, and fallen down the chimney.
The birds must have built it between the chimney being swept and the anti-jackdaw net being fitted. They didn't hang about !
Ah well, and I thought Sunday lunch with my daughter and shifting an old mattress out of the garage to the skip was going to be the great excitement of the day.
Have a good day, all.

Morning all xx
Touch wood, we've had very little ice this winter so far. I hope we're not going to make up for it in the next couple of months.
I've had a bit of a mixed weekend so far. Had to go with my sister's to the vet's Friday night to have her cat put down, due to cancer. They tried everything, but couldn't do any more. Very sad.
Had 40th party for friend last night and caught up with lots of good friends there too. Think she'll be a little hungover this morning though!
