Cold.

No change in the weather. Looking at the sea this morning it could almost have been an arctic scene.

Luckily we did not have to be up early this morning as the builders had let us know that they wouldn't be making an early start. The boss and one guy came mid-morning and spent the day doing all the patching up work at the back of the house. As far as I can see they've just got to do the top coat and then the job will be done. 

Yesterday I discovered that I've got a small split on the ball of my foot so as even small things take much longer to heal I didn't go down to the zoo. I'll drive down to Pilates this evening, see how things go and will give my apologies for this week's aerobics. An hour of bouncing around on the balls of my feet would not do any good.

Instead I completed my homework and made a start on knitting a couple of travel cup cosies as suggested by Vytas. A much smaller project than last year's bedspread.

This is how the sprayed frame looks in our bedroom. I wanted to have it on the wall for sentimental reasons as it and the hens hung over the mantelpiece in the kitchen at Dingles for 25 years. That was the room that was the heart of our farmhouse and holds many memories.
