Hellebores

I went to the U3A keep fit class this morning and once I was home the Whirlpool man came to repair the freezer. The ice was supposedly cleared on 13 December by a different person, but he had not cleared all the ice from the pipework. It has now stopped making a noise like a train in my kitchen. It seems that this particular freezer does not generally have this problem; maybe I have a faulty one.
 
The other day I commented on someone’s beautiful Hellebores that mine were nowhere to be seen. Well today they have appeared as buds, so they are my blip today.

The temperature at GMT noon was cooler at six degrees Celsius.
