Walking Sam in the snow and then rolling up large balls and trying to make a snowman, but it melted fairly quickly Debbie's school parents evening revealed her struggling and needing to speak up more and ask for help when needed.
I laid in for a long while this morning and Sam was very patient until I got out after 8.00am. A thin carpet of fine snow greeted us and this made for a bracing walk with Sam but at least I could get him quartering properly as most doggy scents were covered up. Lots of small children were out playing in the snow before breakfast but our family ate first upon my return and then the girls went out. They used plenty of the wide-open spaces in our garden to roll up large balls of snow and tried to make a snowman, but it melted fairly quickly.

Most of the middle part of the day working my radio facsimile and then at last I managed to get the Navtex signals recording satisfactorily and a very good service it is too. This evening, Diana and I had to set out in the cold and ice to see Deborah's teachers at Kimbolton School parents' evening. The story was a mixed one as she struggles to work hard in a range of difficult subjects. She is trying very hard by herself but must ask for our help where we can give it. She comes across to the teachers as rather quiet and shy and must also speak up a bit as certain of the marks in English and French are given for her oral understanding and eloquence as assessed work during the term. Home late and a session with Diana briefing Debbie on what we found before retiring to bed.
