I generally sleep well. We're usually in bed by 11.30. Sometimes I wake and get up at 6. 6.30. But this morning we didn't wake till 9.30. (I was a bit restless at one point)So breakfast was followed fairly quickly by morning coffee. And now it's nearly lunchtime.
Sunny when I got up - clouding over now. Brrrr.....

Greetings, villagers, from cold and partly cloudy Oxfordshire.
Sleet, and later, snow showers are forecast. We'll see. Snow usually misses us in the Vale of White Horse because we are in the middle of a triangle of hills, the Chilterns, Cotswolds and Berkshire Downs.
I had a broken night too, waking up for some reason just before 5am and being unable to go back to sleep for a couple of hours. This was not helped by OH rolling onto his back and snoring, and then rolling again onto my side of the king-size(!) bed and taking up almost all of the space. One of my legs was hanging over the edge so I was not only uncomfortable but cold! OH was only half asleep so I had a few words and he rolled back again. He got up at about half past seven and I went back to sleep until twenty past eleven.
After lunch it will be time to clean the Eglu before the snow arrives, if it does.
Chicken report: no eggs yet.
Stay safe.

Merman and I have half the bed each. The problems occur (for me) when his head is at the top on his side and his feet in the opposite corner on my side. I've yet to work out how to get comfortable in two diagonally opposite quarters of the bed.

I have a photo somewhere of when we were on holiday, OH was spread-eagled all over the bed and I had nowhere to sleep. He had spread arms and legs like St Andrew's cross!

Happy New Year all! My cold is mostly better now thankfully although I am still having bursts of sneezing at times, much to the dog´s surprise  Sorry to read of broken nights. Perhaps it´s to do with the Full Moon? Wishing us all better nights´ sleep ahead. |

Morning, villagers. I can only get occasional glimpses of it through the clouds, but the moon is definitely on the wane. I sometimes find, and last night's a case in point, that I have no trouble getting to sleep. In fact I sometimes manage it two or three times a night. My trouble is staying asleep once I've got there. Cold  but dry and not snowy  |

Good morning (just), villagers, from cold and cloudy Oxfordshire.
Not a single snowflake fell yesterday.
Another awful night here, partly with a dodgy stomach, no idea why, and partly YD not finishing her games evening until stupid o'clock. Even though she tried to be quiet I could still hear her occasionally. I had words and she went to bed. I got to sleep around 5.15am and woke up four hours later. After an hour and a half I gave up and went for a shower. Zombies'r'us now. I don't know when OH got up, but it must have been sometime in the four hours I was asleep. He is going to lay down the law to YD when she surfaces.
I have just released a very fluffed-up and hungry Jasper from the garage where he had been shut in all night. OH had unlocked the door but not looked inside, or heard him. Salem had been going to and fro from kitchen to garage, obviously trying to tell me something, so I had a look. I opened a tin of cat food into two bowls and both boys are polishing it off. Honey is having her own special diet food in the study, and Marie is sleeping off her breakfast.
Chicken report: one egg, from Dottie.
Stay safe.

Didn't sleep much last night, so I went for a "lie down" this morning - I just woke up.

Wet rather than cold today. One of the roads I use to get to church was almost flooded.
Then a friend, who is 90, fell in church and gashed her face. We're still waiting to hear how she is. The ambulance took ages to arrive.

I can understand the Ambulance taking so long - Many of them are standing outside the Hospital being treated in the Ambulance.

We got the news last night that my friend was back home, shaken up, but, apart from hairline fractures(2) to her cheekbone, uninjured.

Greetings, villagers, from cold and cloudy Oxfordshire. I slept late after such a bad night the one before.
I'm relieved that your friend wasn't too badly hurt, Judith, though that was bad enough.
OH went for his walk early.
People I know from local farmers’ markets, Styan Family Produce, are going to be on BBC1 at 3.45pm this afternoon.
Chicken report: Lottie has laid an egg. It looks like Lilith is beginning to moult. There are dark feathers in the nest box. I hope it’s not a big moult. The weather is far too cold for that.
Stay safe.
