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

Watched a House Sparrow feeding her baby tit bits on the lawn.

I have just had my head inside my wormery enjoying the sounds of a huge mass of worms going about their day. If I had a decent microphone, I could record it as worm ASMR

Maggie the Sag has no shame!

haha something I never thought I'd hear mentioned!!

What’s makes me happy is that I realised today that I live up to the 1960’s stereotype of being a dumb (natural) blond.
Imagine the scene.
I’m watering 5he garden which is North facing as the shadows encroach.
The hose is long enough to do from here to Outer Mongolia.
The water pressure was going down so I’m muttering about inconsiderate paddling pool owners etc.
Water fizzled out.
Checked for leaks. Checked kitchen tap. Nope pressure fine.

Whoop whoop I’d turned the piggin tap off while I waited for more shadows to bathe my plants in shade.

Don't worry Neffa, we all have them, only I have blonde moments combined with geriatric moments.

A blackbird flew out of the soft fruit bed.
I said to her, in my best voice, "You norty bird, I know what you're eating!".
Then I noticed her perfect nest, about 2 foot above ground, one side against the chicken wire fence, probably resting on a fruit bush of some kind.
The icing on the cake - 4 beautiful blue eggs.
I'll stay away from the area until she's finished with it - she can eat as much fruit as she likes.

I had a sneaky look at the nest whilst checking out the gooseberries. Saw one gaping beak on a feathered baby. There may have been more but I didn't want to disturb them. Pleased that at least one of them has survived. 

I just harvested  some cabbages and freed up space for new cabbage plants. I also collected a nice bunch of strawberries

   
   
   

Wow, that's some cabbage Can!

There’s 4 heads in it, I cleaned and boiled them up tonight, enough for 3 x double dinners ( me and the wife), so 2 are frozen for future use and 1 for tomorrow. I like me to do this in advance with cabbage and kale because my wife won’t handle it. She doesn’t like the texture - did you ever hear such rubbish. Anyway it mans I do it my way and make sure it’s not over cooked.
