It's the second winter's day today and there was frost in the night. The frost is sparkling in early morning sunshine - on the grass and the mole-hills. Oh dear! I have forgotten some plants. They don't like frost. Will they die? Is there anything else that could go wrong? Certainly! Mishaps come in threes. The second mishap is my computer. What is it doing?I don't know. The third problem is my health. I have the common cold - with a leaky nose, a throaty cough - and I am sneezing non-stop. I can't go out today.
