Cold.

It's been a cold wet day so there was no temptation to go outside. But at last the kitchen floor is done -almost. 1 or possibly 2 more coats of varnish this evening and then the only thing to do is to pull out the fridge and slot in the tiles that go underneath it. I have already cut and varnished them so hopefully that will be a simple job. At least the cork tiles are easy to cut either with a Stanley knife or a pair of scissors. It would be a horribly awkward job to cut ceramic or stone tiles to fit the kitchen. I was worried that I didn't have enough tiles but I've got 6 left over. I might use them to do the whole of the recess where the fridge is.

This morning I saw a deer out in the field but instead of the usual walking around and grazing it would eat for a moment and then bounce around for a bit, almost in circles before eating another mouthful. Eventually I saw the reason for this change in behaviour, another deer came out into the field. I don't know if they were the same 2 I've seen before.
