Fantastic day, just the temperature I love!! No more cracking the ice and I may just get to mend the pond and be able to use the hose to fill it up...Lovely day :)

It was a great day here as well, mild and clear. I cleaned out a pen in the goat shed, but I took my time about it, and placed the dung in the fruit garden to mulch the blackcurrants bushes, and to level out the ground there.

Sounds like you gals had a great day  ;D It was really grey and cloudy here, and as i wasn't feeling too great anyway, didn't even venture outside. Left the OH to do what needed to be done re animals.

not bad in Derbyshire, not the brightest, but milder than it has been (tho minus 3 at 9:30pm)
Been splatting rats today, cats went on strike after a while so guess who had to deal with them... O/H is more squeamish than me!!
At least the chooks house got a good clean out...

I was at a dog show!  So I had a good day too - chatting to friends, winning with my dogs, meeting HAppy Hippy and her two super daughters and their friend, (wonderful house number slates for my two nephews, Karen! ;D), so I didn't care much that it was cold outside the hall. ;)
