One a Day

I have decided this year to take a photo a day and try and keep a record of our life for a year. It is difficult at this time of year to always take a photo in day light as I am not often home during daylight hours. I am also going to try and get a little fitter - I set myself a target each week as I give up easily. This week's target is to use my indoor rowing machine 3 times. I have rowed twice so one more to go. I find it very difficult to row when I work as I am too tired when I get home.






Photo number 1. This was a Christmas present from Andy and Carrie. It stands at the top of the stairs but in a very dark corner so it was difficult to capture.




Photo number 2. This was taken from our bathroom window and I intend to take one each month from here to show the seasonal changes.



Photo number 3. This is the river that runs alongside our garden. Not much water in it for this time of year but it looks very cold.




Photo number 4. The feeders outside our back door. The log has holes bored in it and I fill it with nuts, seeds, scraps and fat. The woodpeckers visit, but are very sneaky and hide behind the log, using the holes on the back. The tray under the feeder is to catch the seed that the nuthatch throws out when he is looking for his sunflower hearts.


There has been knitting - presents for friends and family and started this week, socks for Rog as he gets cold feet in bed and is due to have his knes replace so will need easy on socks.
