Our first frost last night, as promised by the forecasters. Very glad OH and I managed to pop out yesterday afternoon and put straw in the crown of the tree fern and wrap it up in horticultural fleece. The pineapple lilies are also in the greenhouse. Nothing else is vulnerable this year. It's only 4 atm and seems to be clouding over a bit.
A lovely bright morning, that wind has dropped but OH did have to scrape his car as he headed out to play golf and wondered when the course would open as they have to wait for the frost to clear first. I went out at 11 and it had all gone - lots of floodles in the lane - it was quite bad yesterday and I couldnt' get to the chemist because there was a flood all along the entrance. Had to go out again in the afternoon.
I am MIL and cat sitting today and going to see if I can at least start puting photos in my new album ..... I keep getting sidetracked or need to do something else. More laundry today too and then my dietary review later this afternoon. Will I have managed to lose that magical 1 stone? Last time I was weighed I had lost 7 kilos in total, which is just slightly off the stone I think. I'm still more comfortable with imperial weights and measures!
Have a good day everyone and try and keep warm. I have my fisherman's sweater on and have got my scarf, gloves and hat out of their summer resting place. Kizzy is out - she has such a lovely thick fur coat and doesn't care about the weather, unless it's too hot.
