Cold, rainy and miserable if you are a postman today...but if you are an artist you are warm, dry and happy!
I have actually worked on a building site in winter and have walked the streets as a postie...and been out in all weather for the Wildlife Trust and Rushcliffe Parks and Gardens, so I can empathise with anyone having to suffer miserable conditions.
Thinking about it, I'm always out in poor weather when jobs have to be done...and I don't even get paid for it!
A good productive day and a lot to be thankful for.
Funnily enough I don't mind being out in the rain - mainly because I have a good collection of colourful boots and my rain ones are amongst the brightest. I splash around as if I were a kid again.
ReplyDeleteI just saw your remark about snakes over on Helen's blog. You actually find quite a lot of adders in Brittany - we've had about four in our garden over the seven years we have lived here - but then we back on to woods where they hang out. You ask your neighbours at the French house - I bet they have seen a few. You just need to stamp around in the garden to get them to slither away
Hi FF
ReplyDeleteThere has been a tale of a snake sighting in our garden but I never saw actual proof. You are right though, and I should wear gloves when I come to remove the stone which is heaped up in a corner of our garden.
Are adders deadly?
Ken, I saw a snake slither into your house front wall and it never came out! It wasn't an adder. The snake in the stone pile turned out to be a toad, and David saw a snake on the lane to the wood when he was out blackberrying. Katy and Dan also have a photo of a snake going into someone's garage. It was massive! So you had better watch out when you're building that shed.
