Good morning, rather a pretty line-up in the northeast at the moment, of Saturn, Mars, the old crescent Moon, and Mercury.
4°C now, expecting fog to arrive and then a clearance again later; up to 11.

Fog came in here this morning, lifting now; very chilly earlier at 2°C, switched on heaters in dining-room and hall as well as heat-pump in living room.
Now 7.5°C going for 12°C.
Not heard as many shotgun blasts as in past years on the first day of shootin' season.

I hope there aren't any "Well, he looked like a duck to me" incidents.

Sometimes happens...
"I didn't know it was loaded"
"I leaned it against a fence while I climbed over and it went off"
etc

The Sun has risen, it is 2.3°C outside, expecting sunny and mostly clear all day and 13°C.

Duck-shooting season starts tomorrow and I see the forecast is for mist/fog first thing.
