@bossproofreader Yep, dad was obsessed with them and bought 3 which he loved to bits. They're still in my parents' garden. I was wondering if I could a) move them in the winter or b) buy some and squeeze a couple into the plot
@bossproofreader Haha I thought you might be getting ready to tackle it! I'm definitely tempted, I'm just lying here googling stepover apple trees when I could shortly be planting out some of these babies... 🌱
@bossproofreader Very. I live between two mountain ranges at the confluence of two major rivers. Yesterday's bike ride was up & down a hill (153 metres) and that is away from civilization. 13 K towards the city is into the river valley and a much steeper hill.
@bossproofreader Just made a cuppa and stood in the garden looking at the solar lights still on. I thought if I were Sylvia I'd be trotting through the dawn to the allotment! 🌅 Tempted, but I thought I'd just TRY for more sleep first 🤞🏼 #insomnia
I did something unpleasant to my ankle a few days ago and I can't run my regular pattern. I fetched the evil bike out of the storage shed and started using it, but it will never be my favourite exercise. Lonely roads shared with huge logging trucks.<sigh>
@bossproofreader Perfect! I'm also awake, listening to the first birds and thinking about May Day 😄
@bossproofreader Ooo. I always feel that less is best, but I would favour no 2, in some circumstances.
@bossproofreader I think I'm slightly addicted to it!
If you're not listening to your kid's' playlists, you are missing out. 1st, some good new/ish music. 2nd, they may be listening to Nirvana or The Grateful Dead or King Crimson. 3rs, some fun talks can ensue, like When I saw the Grateful Dead in Saratoga Springs in '82 or '83.

@bossproofreader I shall try! It’s not always possible for me to come up to HB- but I’d like to😊
@bossproofreader @EustaceEusts Sorry to hear that. Can imagine how hard that must be for you. Small consolation, I know, but you are now better equipped than most at spotting others who would behave in the same despicable manner…😕
It's mating season for the beetles. Where I live they are very common. We call them Ildbiller. Fire beetles. When reading about them I'm informed that they are rare. The female is the biggest one and she's dragging him after her during mating. Girl power. 😀
Does anyone like a lesson, lecture, talk where someone puts a slide on a screen and then simply reads it and moves on to the next one and so on to the end?
Three pink Cardamines by the Bronwen Nixon Bridge this morning: pratensis; raphanifolia unfolding; bulbifera now up to 10 flower stalks.
@bossproofreader @EustaceEusts Good call on your part - people like that can chew you up and spit you out on a daily basis and it never ends well!
