Morning

Lovely and sunny out pity about the earlier frost, its odd watching the sun melting it away as it crosses the garden.

Little robins still popping in and out an intruder robin appeared yesterday in the lean-to but was soon chased off.

It sounds like an assortment of bird/animal visitors for you Snoop. we only have birds, the odd cat and fox then last year the first squirrel came on our garden.

Morning all.

Bright blue outside. Warm night. Three of the birds in the barn and garage have decided now is the time to start the spring season for real. Strange not to see the one above the door any more. The geckos and bats are back in the garage. So instead of counting birds, I'll now be counting geckos.

I was woken by the alarm clock from a dream in which I was on the wrong platform for a train. And I had a heavy suitcase, so would I make it in time over to the other platform... Still got that residual anxiety and that was ages ago now. Hope that dissipates soon.

Right, better go and see what needs doing. Tea in the pot for them as wants it. Mr Snoop will be making coffee soon. I hope.

Have a great day, everyone.

Mornin n’alln’all

What a difference in weather here too. After a high of 18C yesterday we have lots of bouncy sploshy stuff. Good job OH managed to cut the lawn!

We’re off for a grory hop soon , but also have a look at the paving slab colour which I’m thinking would go best for the patio. They don’t have slabs, just cobbles, but it’ll give OH an idea. Need to get his approval of course before ordering!

Great news about the car Snoop. Tis always a concern between how would you cope without if it hadnt passed and how much it could cost to get it to pass. Most cars seem to be money pits, but it does make you wonder how we’d cope without them!

Postcards? Our neighbours always send one to us when they go away for a month ( we look after their cat) but it never seems to arrive until they’ve been back for at least a couple of weeks!)
I’ve not sent one for years. It used to be the done thing to send one to friends and family didn’t it? Remember trying to squeeze in lines of writing around the outside of the address and outer edge of the card? One day of the holidays always seemed to be set aside for ‘getting them out of the way’

Anyone fancy a brew?
enjoy your day peeps….
