A partial thaw today - dry feet for a change.
The garden under snow.
A nice bright day - sorry W!
Two woodpeckers!
As volvo intended, apart from the grime. 
Sunset tonight.Yesterday was a Thomas & Jessie day as Jessie's school was closed due to the snow.
G came with me to finish some jobs, to the delight of J & T.
Jessie had her school lunch already packed so we had a picnic on the floor in the conservatory. T sat on G's knee & ate Grandad's fish chowder in preference to his carefully cut finger sandwich selection.
We managed an hour or so in the garden building a snowman & racing circuit for T's pedal car after lunch.
B&E did not require our babysitting services, due to the weather, so we went on to the cinema.
We had an Indian meal in Shimla Pinks, which was a little disappointing, & then saw "Benjamin Button"
I thought that the film was about as disappointing as the meal - unbelievable twaddle.
A clock made by Mr Cake, that ran backwards, followed by BB, born as a baby sized old man, who grows bigger & younger. Based on a short story by Scott Fitzgerald.
aj, she who knows everything, had read the short story years ago & knew it was twaddle.
I wish that I had asked her, apparently US films get Oscar nominations because they're American & take years to make.
Not a patch on "The Reader"
I haven't been asked to sit on the voting panel ....yet.
G & I knew that we had been to the pictures 5 times since Christmas, due to meals eaten, but could only remember 3 films.
After a whole day of hard thinking, we asked P what we had seen; we had forgotten the Bond film & the Daniel Craig film.
That says something about us & the films.
This morning we went for a walk up Moat House Lane to the Church in the sunshine, wet, muddy & slippery in places.
We came home, made soup & did some clearing in the study before I wrote a sermon for tomorrow whilst G had a bonfire of garden waste & papers.
We have since had lasagne & the remainder of a bottle of tempranillo, in front of a big fire in the lounge. There are some good things about cold weather.
It was very cold last night, -7 in Maxstoke, -6 degrees here.
Tonight promises to be the same.

I think you have to be able to remember the names of the films to nominate them. But you can always apply to be a BAFTA member, then you will get all the films sent to you as DVDs to see before the nominations start. Cheaper than going to the cinema !
How do you apply?
Is there an age limit(I could apply for G as well)?

Come to Denmark and warm up a little, there has been little snow and it is a little warmer...
We're on the way!
