We went for a walk up a hill near Keswick. We've been working sprog like a $5 mule, so it was the least- almost literally- we could do.

As you can see, a clear patch doesn't do a thing for the pirate look I wanted. #2 sprog had given me the hat, I hadn't shaved, but I don't really have that dangerous look. However, vision is returning, if still quite wierd in the left eye. Check out the relative size of the pupils.

This is on UKJen's windowsill, only blooms for a week/year. It feels very waxy. Anyone know what it is?

melting fast

The ice from last Sunday's picture is melting fast. Must be all the rain, because it is still just a couple degrees above freezing.

I tipped over a trash can used as a water butt and was going to have a contest to guess when it would be all gone, but forgot to post the pic until a week later, when it is mostly all gone. See Jan 24.
