• Great win from England to go one up. #Ashes #
  • So cold this morning. Down to -10c (14f). Been out with blowtorch to defrost the sparrows who are stuck to their perches. #
  • I knew it was cold when I woke up with a bed full of penguins.
    'Look at these King penguins!' I said. Or something to that effect. #
  • Suns gone in and the temperature is dropping like a stone. With the clear skies all day it could be even colder tonight. #
  • I've issued woolly jumpers and hats to the sparrows but I need something for their beaks. Maybe those polystyrene packing beads would work. #
  • Must say the sparrows look quite smart in their stylish fur-lined bootees although they can't seem to grip their perches. Where's the glue? #
  • The penguins are sliding down the roof. They think it's great fun. Now the seagulls have joined in. I think they're having a competition. #
  • Thought we had Carol singers at the door turned out to be the potatoes cooking on the job. #
  • Or even the hob! (stupid predictive text) #
  • Down to -6C (21F) in Cov already. I may have to wrap up in a couple of polar bears. Already got some sheep strapped to my feet. #
