Not quite so cold and signs of a thaw beginning. Tarmac is beginning to show and icicles are slowly disappearing.  I really need to get out but it didn't happen today.  Can't even claim to have done many chores. Remembered to order mealy worms.  Supplies are getting low.  Apart from that I have buried myself in a book as usual  only stopping  to photograph the thing nearest me, an old glass jar full of  bits and pieces from beachcombing.  


Old tideline treasures
Sea coal and shells entice me
To go fossicking.
