Tuesday 14th January 2014
After a hard overnight frost the day turned out good. Dry with plenty of sun.
15mm rain overnight.
9c average day temp'.
5mph average wind speed.
Plenty of bird activity, Robins and Doves clearly loved up. Sparrows and Green finches back after a couple of months not seeing them. Starlings also very busy with a pair now residing permanently in the Swift box (now to be called the Starling box).
Really have a serious problem with the Squirrels now. Three of them with a pair together all the time. Thinks the cats are playing with them and and respond accordingly, fun to watch but am at the point now I want the cats to kill, sadly.
Most of the day spent sorting out all my office stuff ready for selling/giving. eBay is a no no. My account suspended within 24hrs of opening without explanation so will use the small ads in the local paper.
Very sad to hear of the news Uncle Cecil died yesterday. So pleased we were able to see him just before Christmas. If interested Cecil set up the company Cope & Cope Ltd, manufacturers of Chicken machinery for the chicken industry. Based in Vastern Road where the Thames Water building is now. It was Cecil who provided his car and chauffeur for our wedding back in the seventies. RIP Cecil.
