January 8th. Rain turns to sleet.

Icy rain all afternoon, turning to sleet as the light went.

I did manage a walk before work, around the forest in the starless, moonless 6am darkness, with many small detours from the path to avoid the mud and puddles. Conclusive proof that, whatever I am, I am not a spaniel. (The Forestry Commission have been restoring a strip of heathland alongside the path I normally follow, felling trees, and the heavy machinery has made an impressive mess of the tracks).

It's hard to fathom what the weather is now bc it is so dark out. (It's almost 6am and I'm an early riser...)

Yesterday evening, even though it was dark, I could hear the sleet battering against the windows. I wasn't at all tempted to head out for an evening walk.

Omg. No, I guess so. Send some that our way, and we will send you our sunshine...
