Seedlings

Work actually wasn’t too bad today. I think I’ve just caught up from my Easter days off, and can plan for the next few days.

At lunchtime I walked down Elm Hill to Anglia Square where there is an abundance of charity and second hand shops. I was looking specifically for a certain dvd, a PS3 game and some 70s/80s vinyl. But there is such a lot of exciting junk I barely did oxfam and 10% of Looses before it was time to get back. It was nice not to have a rushed break, although I am sure all the sensible ones were out sitting in the sun! I guess that means I’m just not one of them!

I left at 4.20 and have just pottered since I got home. The blue tits are making a nest in our bird box and I’ve got a camera in it. It’s rigged up to the old tv I bought last year in the Heart Foundation shop, and I’ve got it in the summer house. The signal wasn’t strong enough to get a picture if the tv was indoors. It’s fun to see them going in and out with beaks full of grass and moss. I can’t wait until they settle and lay some eggs. I just have to keep Ralph away. He is a bird lover, but for all the wrong reasons.

My courgette seeds are just emerging. They are in the summerhouse too. I think the tomato plants have gone on strike though. I should have started them much earlier.

Off to tap later. But for now, I’m finishing this from the bottom of my garden, and making the most of those sun rays!
