Chilly again.

I've just let the chickens out - -3 degrees this morning, but an egg - hurrah! No competeing yeterday as J & Th are staying & we were busy - we had the bikes oiut in the garden, played tennis after lunch, made cakes......they are little angels - presently classifying "Mushi Monsters" on their beds. We had the first meeting of the Lent Course ("Spot the Difference") here last night - 8 of us, followed by coffee & carrot cake. The overall theme is "What is the difference between Christians & others?" Last night we considered "Love" - anecdotes, Bible readings, prayers & quotes, from the likes of Martin Luther King, Dickens, Bonhoffeur, considered. We have to plan today - J & Th favour going to the playground & playing here, rather than an adventure - we'll see. Best quote for yesterday - i phoned Volvo as the low beam headlight bulbs had both gone only a matter of days after Ben had replaced them both. They enquired if they were volvo bulbs - no - locally sourced & suggested that it's because non-volvo bulbs would not last long because they are on when driving! I explained that there was also a problem with the key batteries - replaced & said to be "Low" only a couple of weeks later. Any ideas? I've booked the car in for them to check it out. Up & at it - the natives are restless!
