Is it always perfect weather?

I bought a Christmas present today, the first of the year. A feather on a stick. So that was my half-day off used wisely.

Last weekend, I bought a 5kg bag of organic fertiliser, which I put under a tree, planning to use it this weekend. This morning I walked past it and stopped, thinking something looked... different. It took me a minute or so to work out that the bag had moved. It was there, now it was two metres over there. Closer inspection revealed teeth marks in it. What would do that, I wonder? A stray cat might try to chew it, but I think even a very large cat would struggle to move a bag that big. So a dog, probably, or maybe a fox?

Someone further up my street has a new rooster. It hasn't worked out about crowing at dawn yet; it crows all day. It's getting really good at it now.
