They promised us snow and they delivered. Albeit in a niggardly way. There was a lumpy spread of snow over the grass this morning which had obviously been rained on and then frozen. This was followed shortly after the sun came up by another sprinkling that covered things nicely but not for long. Then sunshine for some time, followed by a few more snow showers and that seems to be it for the day.

Only a few gusts of strong wind which was a good thing as them over the road were replacing their roof. Fortunately not all of the roof, just a section which they managed to get covered before the afternoon showers arrived. Health and safety is clearly not something the people doing the work are concerned about as the chap was happily strolling up and down the steep pitch without a safety rope or even special shoes as far as I could tell. It was quite unnerving when the showers started and he was still up there.

I have been having a Facebook free day (Faceoff - it's an annual thing) and have spent my time unpicking those quilt blocks that are not square or of the appropriate desired end measurement with a view to sewing them back together again and hopefully achieving a square. Since it is far too cold to leave the loungeroom they are neatly pressed, put back in their ziplock bag and will await a more congenial day for me to sew them back together again.

The neighbours appear to have acquired two new horses to match their double horse float. Despite them not having terribly well developed winter coats they have been out in the weather with no horse rug to keep them warm. You really have to wonder why they keep doing this. Their last horses were taken off them.

I bought two of the pizzas they make up at the Roxy. Raw bases with toppings fresh from the deli. One will be frozen, half of the other will be dinner tonight, if Seb stops whinging about whatever it is that is bothering him right now. We have just come back from a walk, so I have no idea what his problem is, unless he was so distracted  by the horses he forgot to do something he was supposed to  be doing.
