Staying in, looking out!

What a day!  Heavy, frequent showers of sleet and hail, with tiny spells of sunshine in between them in the afternoon.  Ollie and I had a three brief walks, and got wet on two of them!  

The hens were not happy, even though I boiled and mashed some potatoes for them and put extra straw in their nest box.  A cold, wet hen is a miserable sight!  

Spent the morning sewing some drawstring sailcloth bags to keep important bits and pieces in on the boat.  Poor Mike was out delivering the post . . . . but there was no plane so there was only local mail and he managed an early finish.
