Rant whilst waiting...now getting on with life
The second, late afternoon was even shorter...
As the rain came in again.
But it isn't about quantity now..after exactly a year back here of little exercise and much disruption, we must both set our pattern again to regain health.
We had a nice short walk the other day...and the hawthorn/may blossom is beginning to take over from the apples...the pears have finished being even earlier and one variety looks to have been caught by a wintry blast....but the wild cherries look ok.
We didn't go past last year's plum trees...that will wait for another walk.
Who knows how much will be left after the June Drop?
I have been getting on with cleaning and listing bike bits...two items went out within an hour if putting them on Fleabay..and today I have a query on a pair of time trial handlebars from a friend in Northeast England.
Posting done this morning and then netting bought ready to net the fruit cage tomorrow and back to more cleaning , researching and listing.
Pirate's investigation was , he found out, just routine. An injection...making him "glow in the dark"!!....then a bone scan three hours later..good results, thankfully.
We used the three hours to post a sale, have a cuppa and share a cake in one of our favourite cafés, see friends...touching base after our return.
It was a very bright afternoon...not the best for showing the colours of the flowers unfortunately. The wind was strong and rather cold as well..but at least that meant the washing on the line dried quickly!!
Our house sitter is still with us, now as a house guest..their van is mid conversion...so my workshop is rather full of wood! However the kiln shed now only has kiln things inside...
I have my printing table to use as well, even though the study is full of their belongings...
They are working on their van when possible...and making art to sell which is paying for it. Can't fault that! I will be glad to have my space back when they find a place to move on to!!
It starts today... believe it or not!
We awoke to frosted roofs in the gardens, blue sky and sun!!
Does this mean that as March has come in like a lamb, the expected storms to the West of the Atlantic will give us March going out like a lion?!!
We went Dipper hunting two days ago...and the one underneath the mill bridge is now a pair!...that's the white blob in mid picture...
We managed a walk between showers...and you can feel the warmth from the earth despite the cold wind.
And not long after we arrived home....
