Today is the first time in my life that I have had the pleasure of working from home. It's rather nice - warm, quiet, no phones (other than me mobile that very few work colleagues know).

Although I only work 20 miles away in Cambridge, I didn't fancy the bus-ride or being stranded later on. Also our tiny postage-stamp-sized office in Cambridge isn't very well insulated so it's bloody freezing. Best off here at home.

It's still snowing here but has eased off slightly in the last hour or so.

I kindly put some fruit and bread out for our feathered friends as well as topping up the feeders with wild seed and peanuts. We often get the same regular visitors to the garden - a male and female blackbird, a pair of blue tits and a handful of house sparrows among others.

I'm feeling very cosy in my house - could get quite used to this lifestyle. Maybe my boss does have the right idea about starting out on our own.

Right, best crack on as the wife is due home for lunch soon.

I trust the weather isn't causing people too many probs.
