Have you remembered the camera?

Yes, I remembered the camera, but did I remember to check how much charge was left on the battery? Well no, but I got a few photos of this mornings walk before the camera stopped working. There was still frost on the ground when we set off and the sky was blue, perfect walking weather.

Some sort of bracket fungus?

The Old Grump at work.

Warm again

It is cold

The pump on the central heating boiler has died. It has worked hard for nineteen years, but today it stopped spinning. It is a solid fuel boiler and our only form of heating, apart from a small electric fan heater. The part required to fix it is obsolete and to replace the boiler would cost at least two to three thousand pounds. Hmmm?
The old grump is on a mission to resurrect the fan. Fingers crossed.
Now, where are those woolly jumpers?

Just as they landed

Swede/Turnip

I know that this is a swede, but I'm sure that when I was a little girl we called it a turnip. Is it all in my imagination?

My little man, Oliver.

I've just spent the best part of two hours learning how to make photos  smaller. I thought that I could just click on a photo of my little man and say, " put it here". I should have known better. The Old Grump says that I have to make photos smaller. I am not computer literate. Weird things could happen on this blog.

Oh no! I've gone and done it.

Yes, I've started a blog. How much will I have to say and how long it will last? I don't know.
