3rd January 2025 - Cold - Snow on the way

Thought for the day :"Aquaducts are ducks that like water more than others"

Dry and sunny and cold..

2025 Wet 2 - Dry 1
 

Very cold this morning with a good frost.

Let the chickens and ducks out but went back to bed until lunchtime.

Susie hasn't manage to get out all day again, her chest is really hacking and we are trying sliced ground ginger with honey and lemon now.

Went down to Tremain to see about my chainsaw to find out that the bearing had damaged and the cogs had bitten into the casing and ruptured the oil feed. Not repairable at cost sadly.

Bought a new Chain Saw  Husqvarna 14" for £225 

Noted for warranty purposes - bought from Glan Thomas Garden Supplies.

Volvo working well, and though still vulnerable to condensation in this weather, seems to be drying well.

Decided today may be the last day to have the Christmas Lights on - although it is not the twelfth day, and may do the same with the other decorations tomorrow.

Somehow not really in the Christmas Spirit.

Today is apparently "Professor " day

To celebrate Tolkien's birthday at 9pm on the 3rd January you lift a glass and say "The Professor"

according to the Tolkien Society...   Seems legit 

Cheers - "The Professor"

2nd January 2025 - And a cold bit

Thought for the day :" Drink a lot of water !! I do.. Frozen in Whisky. Follow me for more health tips"

Dry and Cold 

2025  Wet 2 : Dry 0

Woke up to a very cold and frosty morning. Still suffering but the sun and the brightness somehow makes things better. 

Let the chickens and Ducks out and got back to the house.

Hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs 

then a coughing fit and lost the lot...

Back to bed by 11.30  until Nancy came up to take Bethan and Scarlett back to Narberth with her..

And a good thing too I think - they had a snow blizzard on the way 

We had rain then - so classes as a wet day  

Quiet afternoon and Volvo got returned this evening - smelling good and still with humidifiers on the seats.

Seems to have done a good job - no smells 

Cheers 

1st January 2025 - Start of a New Year

Thought for the day :"Apparently the longest sentence in the English language is "I do""

Wet ( and snow warnings for the weekend) 

2025 - That is wet = 1 : Dry = 0

Sitting around and hacking coughs...

Susie still abed but got up to eat dinner that Bunnie had cooked for us  

Chickens are now laying four a day thought they are rather small by comparison to our old girls before.

in other news ...

 Lemsip and Harry Potter - the last ..

Cheers !
