The First Sunday after the Epiphany

Another day almost gone ... and it both started and ended with very low temperatures.  The patterns made by frost are so beautiful.

That was on the windscreen of the car ... and the temperature gauge registered the lowest figure that I've seen this year.  It took a while to warm up ... but church was very cosy when I got there.  We've discovered that a few hours of heat on a Saturday night makes a big difference when the Sunday morning heating comes on.  Not good for the oil levels ... but certainly more comfortable for the people in the pews.

The rest of the day has been quite leisurely.  A good fire, a comfortable chair and a bit of reading and dozing.  All under the fresh spring tulips ... imported!  The flowers here are scarcely above ground yet.

Yesterday I decided to dye some rather tired pale blue towels ... they've been hanging frozen on the line overnight ... and are still there.  Maybe if temperatures rose above zero and there were a slight breeze they'd dry a little.

 And now, just before bedtime, the dog has a drink of Pawsecco!   I don't think he is particularly fond of it ... but he made a valiant effort to drink some.

As for me ... just coffee!
