Tuesday was a much better day with the sun even managing to make an appearance in the morning and early afternoon before it clouded over again. It was the first time for about a week that the sun had managed to break through the cloud cover.
Outside it felt much pleasanter in the sunshine even though the temperature only made it up to a maximum of 1.7°C. So far though winter hasn't been too cold despite the last couple of weeks of cold weather.
In the early part of January 2013 our average winter temperature was above that of 2007 the warmest in recent years. The last couple of weeks have brought the average tumbling down. It’s anybody’s guess where the orange line will finish when we arrive at the end of February.
It definitely feels a little warmer today. There's plenty of bird activity in the garden too, so they can't be feeling the cold quite so much today either.
ReplyDeleteWe've got lots of blackbirds as usual. I'm sure one female blackbird watches me put food on the bird table then as soon as I turn my back I can hear her land on the table.
