Following yesterday's buzzard, this morning a kite over the back of Christchurch Mount - a kite which a correspondent had seen not many minutes before over the Horton Lane allotments, that is to say the allotments most recently noticed at reference 2. Nothing like as high as yesterday's buzzard, maybe twice roof height.

The express pre-fab was on the move, with eastern European accents, rather than the German of the pre-fab's supplier. Several other builders out on my circuit around the block, of which I did six this morning, so about 6km. Plus one set of gardeners, one set of dustmen and sundry neighbours, some with dogs, all at least three metres away. One postman (female) and a small number of children, all under careful control.

Very few cars, even fewer bicycles and no delivery vans. Which last I thought odd.

Wind dropped since yesterday and I was on the warm side inside my duffel coat - never mind the snow jacket of yesterday.

And the back patio was hot after lunch - to the point where I needed to cover my hands to stop them burning - all this despite the slight frost this morning, snapped above. Plus quite a lot of twittering and small bird action in the hedge left, that is to say south, but no tweets.
