The Express carries the sad story of 86 year old Ronald King who shot his wife 81 year old Rita who had been suffering with Alzheimer's - - - Mean while the banner headline that Health food is making us fat claims that people are eating more of the food because its good for you!? - - -
========================
This pic of the PM and a few soldiers is shared by a couple of papers The mail has a lengthy article with actor Michael Sheen making an appearance in it simpering on about people in the UK being against having such a massive foreign aid programme when the money is needed here at home - - - for some reason the article needs to tell us he lives in Los Angeles -- I wonder why
The Express has the same pic fronting a pledge by the PM of more money on flood defences and a figure of "£2.3 billion on capital schemes will make a diffirence" - - I do hope so - - -
==============================
And here comes storm Frank from the Atlantic - - - This Mirror story was issued yesterday at 20:47 but updated at 22:20 is rather alarming if its predictions are correct. "More than a months worth of rain", "Torrential rain snow and floods" "bitter Arctic plunge unleashing freezing winds" are just 3 of many quotes from the article. - - -
======================
this is the XCweather forecast for Matlock over the next couple of days and its going to be windy and rainy especially tomorrow. looking towards Friday it is expected that the Temp might get down to zero overnight so maybe the Mirror story isn't far out - - - it's going to be an uncomfortable run up to a cold New Years Day - - -
====================================
I did another couple of hours down at the logging site yesterday, I met Jim the owner of the land and he told me the Deer i saw the previous day are not Sika but Norwegian Fallow Deer
I saw off another 6 rounds yesterday its a not too difficult job. Just a case of trying to first split the round and make it into smaller pieces or as i have been doing with the one next to the maul, just swiping off chunks around the edge. Its ok until I meet a large knot or where a branch had been coming out of the trunk. If i cant sort it in 3 hits I normally resort to cutting it up with the chain saw
another huffing and puffing session got the last of the rounds onto the track so only 5 to go
there's plenty of wood coming out of the branches but i am going down to stuff not much thicker than an inch round.
For today's task I think that with the nasty weather returning later today i might stick to getting as much of this lot and the reduced rounds into firewood sized bits and under the cover of the plastic sheeting. If the weather is as bad as forecasters are saying it might be up to the New Year, today might just be 2015's last effort - - -
=============================================
Sally has "Girl Flu" I didnt know there was such a thing? She started with a cold on Christmas day and it seems impervious to all the usual remedies so far, we will be cancelling our usual Tuesday lunch out, here's hoping she might be up to it tomorrow.
=============
not a bad Temp to start the day at just under double figures
the moon features on the weathercam this morning in an almost clear skies, I'm hoping the bad weather keeps off until at least lunchtime.
=======================
NEW LINK BELOW
I have changed the Live webcam Birdfeeder link below to now include the weather cam live as well. The image above doesn't show the birdfeeder at left of the pic just because its too dark at the moment. The image is 320x240 resolution/size but if you hit the little 320x240 display a drop down will reveal a choice to increase the resolution/size to 640x480 - - -
========================
Enjoy the day
