According to Met Office, this January has been warmest since 1659 (how accurate thermometers were in those days I do not know) but am I the only one who has throught this Winter, in it's mildness has, in fact been really boring? We have loads of magnolia trees here, I think they like the soil, but today I noticed the early ones (the pink ones) have really fat buds emerging and even the purple, later flowering, are well forward. As someone said, we'll pay for this later! I missed the Delius programme, on too late, it will have to be iplayer. Another Ken Russell coming up I see.

A mixed bag today. At the moment, it sunny.
Last night at the school, where I work at, at orchestra, the Assistant Director of Music asked me if I could take the brass section for a sectional! Iwas rather flabbergasted! It went very well though. Especially as I am not familiar with the piece, which was Richard Strauss's 1st Horn Concerto, last movement!Don’t cry for me

Could be right CdJ - as records show once the Siberian high settles and puffs itself out it takes a lot of budging. Time to replenish the stock of tinned soup.Originally posted by aka Calum Da Jazbo View PostComment

Rainy all day. It's supposed to clear and be sunny tomorrow. All trace of last weekend's snow is now gone. It's very much a soup day!Comment

This weekend is the annual RSPB bird watch. I've done it for the past three years, others may also like to take part. You just need to observe birds in your garden for one hour and then submit results on line. The link is here (no need to download and print the recording sheet, you just need a piece of paper)
