Well you are selling yourself short m'dear
A long dry warm day here has been MOST gratefully received and extensively
utilitised
- 2 polytunnels covered
- lots of sunbathing chooks and preening ducks
- 2 lazy ponies
- fields with no water lying where it oughtnt
- a large chook house [recently repaired] treated and painted
- areas of the park cleaned up for the imminent visitors
and we all contently knackered having just watched the sun set waiting for
the birds to go to bed [about half an hour later than the previous few days]

I fear the temperature is about to drop through the floor but the most
sensitive plants still have their covers on from the gales earlier and the
birds could not care less. The Met office say its not actually going to
freeze -- they may be right but ...??? They are promising us a bit more of
it for the next few days but we are keeping quiet about that in case its shy
and we scare it away !!

All in all a great day's work in the warm and the dry -- and such a change
to be able to do it.
So - I don't mind who's combined efforts sent us the nice day -- it was VERY
much appreciated. Thank you
