Today it is the day for little things. At quarter past nine an oil lorry brought 600 litres oil for the boiler. Now we won't shiver in cold weather. My drawing of a Celtic cross is finished. The original design can be seen on a mediaeval incised stone in a museum in Scotland. It's called the Ulbster Stone. It's a continuous line as a symbol of eternity. The days are still short here but the sun is bright today. Last night in the night there was bright moonlight, though there was only a half moon. The sun is bringing the flowers forward. Already there are long catkins on one hazel tree by the lane (other hazel trees still have short catkins). There's a new red flower in a camellia.
