Thanks to Ceridwen for introducing us all to Slime Moulds and in particular this one, popularly known as moon poo, which I noticed on my local walk this morning, and yes I did poke my finger in gently :-)

I noticed the outside tap was leaking from the sticky out bit underneath, a nipple perhaps? but I got my toolbag and managed to tighten it. I must remember to replace the insulation before next winter.

This morning I woke up with a sore knee but I've no idea why! It eased somewhat when I began moving around but I opted for a walk rather than go bouldering, especially as I've still got quite a cough.
