Not obese after all

The rose near our back door is still flowering. Maybe I'll prune it for Valentine's day.
Alice's school have their provisional dates for being Ofsteded. There has to be a better system, but I don't know what it is.
And putting a piece of plywood under the scales instead of using them on carpet makes me noticeably lighter, so I wasn't really obese after all. Of course there isn't really a step change in risk factors at some arbitrary boundary, but it's still nice.

Nuthatch

I saw a nuthatch on a tree in our garden this morning. At least I think it was a nuthatch, it went round the back of the tree before I had a good look, and didn't reappear once I'd got binoculars.
