All safe if not a little wet

I am happy that all the passengers on the plane that was forced to land in the Hudson river are safe and well. No doubt quick thinking on the part of the pilot and the air crew was a key factor in the outcome. It was also remarkable that so many boats where able to be in attendance so quickly.

The boss(he) is having a problem at the moment being able to send a large document via email to someone and is uncertain as to the cause as he can receive email but not send, all of a sudden. I shall watch this with interest to see if he remains calm and sorts it or looses it.

Wet morning and dark so little to see not even a scavenging fox this morning. The evenings are starting to draw out a little now. Yesterday I went on two walks with D. In the morning I was a bit stiff so only made the end of the board walk. In the afternoon made it down to the pond, which has now thawed completely.

How's the resolutions going? Over half way now to changing a habit or still thinking about it. Remember to climb Everest you first need to take a step in the right direction. Don't beat yourself up if you don't make it every day just keep at it. There's nothing like persistence to get to your goal.

D is off today to get some meal worms for the birds so I will stay indoors with M in the warm. There are at least two of last years robins that come into the summer house to get their feed and a male and female blackbird will feed off the decking. Blue tits and chaffinches have been seen on the feeders as have sparrows. Two collar doves feed from the lawn and a couple of wild pigeons frequent the garden.

We have had a complete change in the weather as the Atlantic starts to contribute to a more mild front. This means we get more winds and rain both not on my list of favourite weather conditions. Still the wind ensures the leaves get collected into neat piles and the rain will soften and help nourish the soil.

Have a good day and learn something new.
