Have been out on site today in the freezing cold. All day. It's at times like this I wish I was hairy!

I went to one site to supervise some works only to find out that in the time it took me to get there (about 20mins) the job had been cancelled and they were having to pack up all of their equipment! Could have been back in the nice warm office much sooner.

I was quite pround of myself though. I was out with the Head of Ecology and I managed to out ecologise her on birds. The bird specialist I was out with looked suitably impressed. I wouldn't normally blow my own trumpet but I don't think I'm particularly good at birds so I did feel genuinely pround. Also I'd told the Head of Ecology that I didn't think a building needed a full bat survey and she agreed. Always nice to have a specialist agree with you.

And now, as it's cold, my Dad has just come in with a big sponge pudding and custard as comfort food. Yummy!
