2020/21 - What's made you happy today?

My new seed storage arrived today!

   

Last year I used two 6-unit photo boxes, but a) I was running out of space and b) carrying two boxes around was a bit cumbersome. The suitcase version has four extra units and they're rainbow-coloured, which makes me happy and makes it easier to select the right box.

Now I just have to work out how to stop buying seeds...

Happy birthday!

Received a new hearing aid in the post this morning, badly needed as OH said I had one of the TVs voluum turned up to 25, she normally has it at 11/12

Our boiler has been fixed!!      

Soon my breath will no longer be visible when I enter the kitchen, the cooking oil will be transparent once more, and my cat will hopefully stop pestering me for body heat in the middle of Zoom meetings!

This is a combination of happy and panicked - our new conservatory is going to be built starting the middle of this week!

Happy, because it means it will be finished well before I need to start planting spring crops; panicked because I only have a couple of days to get all the c%@p cleared out of the old conservatory before they arrive! 

It was sunny yesterday, it is sunny today, and the forecast for the next fornight is sun with temperatures up to 20. Spring has sprung (for now!).

I'm envious! We're still at the time of year when we can have sunshine or warmth but not both!

Mr E and I used to regularly visit Barcelona in mid-February for the half-marathon, and we were always tickled by the fact that we'd be strolling around in t-shirts enjoying the spring sunshine while the locals were bundled up in padded overcoats

Ha ha! Yes, when we arrived we marvelled at being able to go skiing in the morning and then garden in shorts in the afternoon. We've now acclimatised and legs don't see sunlight until we hit the mid twenties Unless we have a rare easterly wind, if it is sunny it is usually warm.

We have running water again
