    No blood moon here @Pat E but he was looking very fat and full as I walked back up from putting the chooks to bed last night.

    Give it time @Biglad but with any luck you'll just get a bit f tenderness round the jab site.

    Well, the wind is really gusty so I haven't dared put the tomatoes and squashes outside but they're in the studio with the sliding wall open to get fresh air ... they'll have to be planted out soon ... the studio isn't big enough for OH, them and me :lol:

    I've sorted through all the detritus that collects in cars over the years ... ordered a new First Aid kit as the stuff in the old one was all waaaaay past their use by dates and the safety pins were rusty .... I totted up the cost of refilling the existing container but to be honest it's got mould and stains on it and looks a hazard to health itself  :o The rest of the stuff that is usually kept in the boot - warning triangles, de-icing stuff, hi-vis jacket, binoculars, that sort of thing, has a new box and my walking boots have a fresh 'bag for life' to live in. The torches all have fresh batteries, a spare battery for the key fob has been located just in case I've watched a video on how to replace it, and the picnic blanket is in the wash.

    I need another coffee .........

    Thanks @Obelixx. I can't even tell where the jab site was at the moment. 

    Good luck to whoever is following my movements from Apple HQ today. That will be gripping viewing :D 

    Not sure I fancy any gardening today - it's just a bit dank and miserable. The local forecast always seems to be great for the next few days at the moment. However, we never seem to get to them :(

    Well the rain didn't hold off for long, but I have started moving plants out of the g/h, so I can move more in from the house. At the moment have 20 Cannas in the bay window, and the boss would really like them gone.

    I know that it doesn’t look red, but in fact it is a very dark red. Quite good fun to see it.

    Good photo Pat,  we’ve got to wait until 10th June for our moon eclipse, won’t be a super moon though.

    Hi Lyn. I’ve just taken another photo of the moon. It’s slightly better, but the best I can manage with my iPad. 😳

    We had a very large moon last night, with no clouds around for a change.
    I was too pessimistic earlier, it's actually been a very pleasant day. Back and shoulder massage was fab and I've been thoroughly 'unknotted' - worth every penny.
    After lunch I pottered about in the verge outside the house, cut back the long grass around the three shrubs I had planted last year and then planted about half a dozen pots of a wild flower mix. Not sure if they will survive but fingers crossed. Then I took a mug of tea, sat in my arbour, admired the new paving and listened to the birds - very peaceful.

    Sounds like a very good day @Lizzie27 😊 

    I’ve  done various useful things, including giving the washing machine a good clean and a 90 degree service wash 😇 

    Springwatch was gorgeous (of course) and now I’m ready for bed, so night night all ... sleep tight
    🛌 😴
