Thursday 24th February - A New Thing Every Day

When the days are grey and cold and rainy and yesterday and today and tomorrow all seem to be the same, it is not a bad idea to try and find, or do, or see, something new every day.

Tiny treats, to make today different to yesterday.

Preferably NOT involving cake, biscuits, ice-cream, on-line shopping, or any other extravagances!
