I don't blame those sheep for making for a warm muck heap on a cold night.<br /><br />It's very cold here so I think we have shades of that Siberian wind although it's not blowing. This - of course - when the doors are left open by the workmen putting in the new central heating boiler. Brrr. Keep warm Pat, and carry on enjoying your reading by the fire. I've been doing family history by the fire :)Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-51104068698282233582015-02-04T08:14:04.179-08:002015-02-04T08:14:04.179-08:00Thanks - we are all looking forward to Spring, tha...Thanks - we are all looking forward to Spring, that's for sure.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-8646567150042807482015-02-04T03:15:23.947-08:002015-02-04T03:15:23.947-08:00I like the comment 'it's half over', I...I like the comment 'it's half over', I always have that feeling in February as well, no matter how many fires are lit, the light is getting stronger and the mind looks forward to spring.<br />thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-71397917103520590542015-02-03T21:10:40.293-08:002015-02-03T21:10:40.293-08:00Lots of 'steaming piles' over here.
