First thing it was snowing, but we're only back to yesterday's level before it melted.

Yesterday afternoon I washed my 70m rope, and this morning I moved it to the other end of the room out of the way. It'll take a while to dry, but it's been waiting to be washed since the end of October after it came back from Portland!

I put some washing out in the hope that it might dry, cleaned the patio window, which has been annoying me for some time, and also the back door. I've made a cake and some mince pies - I didn't have any over Christmas and have got a jar of the stuff taking up cupboard space.

My cough is slightly better, now and again, but my nose is becoming progressively more blocked.
