    .... LG has recommended an evergreen Jasmine which I like the look of but it is a big space and can do with more than one climber.

    It'll have to be knitting on the sofa in front of the athletics while slow roast belly of pork, baked apples and tatties chunter in the oven for supper.

    I've hung the washing out - but there's dark clouds looming....what's that about? image

    I had a pair of goldfinches visiting earlier so I might be off to buy a niger feeder to entice them in! One had a look in at the feeder in the cage but didn't venture in. They were there for seconds only, but I got a pic - sheer luck image

    Sheer luck Wonks. I went into the bedroom to get the laundry basket and saw them swoop in. I got the camera, took a pic, and as I was about to get another, off they went  image

    I'm crossing fingers for the skies and will possibly wash the car first before tackling any garden stuff.

    Wet and Miserable here too.  No gardening today, but off to visit Firstborn later so I'm sure Mabel will cheer me up with her chatter and questions. 

    Desperate for a few days of dry windy weather to dry everything up a bit, I want to mow the lawns so it feels like spring is here.

    We have had another 17mm of rain and now have strong breezes with occasional gusts and sunny spells.  I'm indoors prepping walls for painting but hope to get out once a first coat is on.  If not, I can always assemble cold frames and start of some stuff in the garage.

    No nuthatches, tree creepers or goldfinches here but maybe we'll see more variety once we have a more varied offering of plants and shelter.    Just sparrows, blue and great tits, chaffinches, robins and an occasional blackbird here with visiting groups of starlings from time to time.

    Best crack on.  Have a good day whatever you're up to.
