Hi all,
This blog comes from cold fingers. First off I misread the thermometer last night. The 11 degrees I quoted was the maximum from when I reset it. It was actually -1 overnight and Peter tells us there was some frost when he went off a milking at 5 am. He says the frost will knock the ticks off for a few months. We were warm in bed with our extra bedding.

The days continue gloriously sunny and the solar panels are generating round 8 amps which is pretty good for winter sun. We continued on with the paving today. The highlight of the morning was the snake I found under some old pavers we were recovering. No pictures unfortunately as I wanted to keep my eye on it while we removed the pavers. When I went back later it had gone. We have made a substantial dent in the paving and in the meantime learned some paving skills from Peter who has done a bit in his time.
Other than that not a huge amount to report. Susan got a good laugh out of the cows following me along the roadway. I have replaced the over ride switch on the gas heater so we may now enjoy hot rather than luke warm showers again. The weather forecast seems to be stuck on "fine and sunny" with cold nights and 21/22 degree days until at least Monday. We are not complaining!
Its cold so time to hop into bed and pull mr blanky over my head.
night folks
Simon
