Sky watching

Thanks to the heating in the shop I manage to stay down there quite late these days, but it does leave one a little lacking in vim for the evening scribbling. Following my own advice today and simply making marks until something emerged. Part of my day goes on firewood chopping and these days we keep getting promised snow, so I end up examining the sky when the wonder of the destructive force imposed by the inclined plane begins to pall. So far there have been no big changes in the bird population, a big blob of Brambling usually signals some kind of fall, but the air is heavy with something and the temperature is about right so it won't be long now I suppose.
