The weather improved this afternoon.

And that was just as well because I was getting rather fed up of being stuck down here.

But today got off to a bad start with someone ringing me up at 09:00 - and on a Sunday too! So they were told to sod off and I went back to bed - but it was hard to go back to sleep once I was awake. So after a while I sorted out the fire and got a nice little blaze going and settled down to finish off the Christmas Special.

The sun came out again after a while and the temperature slowly began to rise - not that you could tell too much in here of course, but I noticed it when I went outside and was digging Caliburn out of a snowbank.

After lunch I set off for Liz and Terry's for our rehearsal, and fitted in a stop at my favourite photography point. The bit on Holiday lettings - that seems to go on for ages but I was told to do an hour for the Christmas Special and that has, believe it or not, turned out to be 58 minutes. No problems there - bung another Christmas Carol on the end and that sorted that out. Liz made a nice tea and I got a doggy bag, and I also had a nice shower, seeing as how I didn't manage to make it to the swimming baths yesterday.

On the way home it started to rain and that is washing the snow away. So I'm just hoping that it doesn't freeze or we really will be in difficulties with that lot.

And tomorrow is back to work again. I'm plasterboarding.
