Incredible!
27/02/2009 by Aileen.
Well, it’s the last day of February and 6pm and I’ve just come in from sitting in the garden reading. Granted, it was only for a quarter of an hour and my bum was frozen, but a song thrush was serenading me, the sky and water was rosy pink, and there were evening sounds from the ducks and otherlittle creatures.
It’s been a good day. Creative Writing was excellent as usual. I intended to spend the afternoon gardening and the evening polishing up my TMA (it’s due in at midnight!) but I began working on my TMA while I was ’snoozling’ after lunch and sent it off. Then I remembered that JOhn needed a prescription collected, so while I was out I went to the garden centre and bought potatoes. Charlotte for salad, Maris Piper for chips, and Marvona for jackets. John is going to cut out the bottom of our two extraneous dustbins (we have wheelie bins now) and I will plant two types in them. The other type can go in the plot. I also bought a winter flowering jasmine for the bottom of the garden, and one of those portable (blow awayable) greenhouses.
I probably should have gardened when I came back, but we had a cuppa, I surfed the net, and sat outside.
The evening ahead is unexpectedly free. I was lazy and bought a pizza, and we’ll have wine. Oh life is good.

Midweek
27/02/2009 by Aileen.
Yesterday we had a great day at Potteric Carr. I love that place. Saw the bittern really near the hide, and got one photo, but was scrambling round for my battery as the one I was using was really low. Didn’t miss any better shot, as there were reeds in the way, but here is the one I got. Yes, I know it’s rubbish.
I also saw a Caspian Gull. I had been gazing idly at this large gull being mobbed by the black-headed gull. I thought it was a herring gull, but Michael identified it as the rarer Caspian gull. This was confirmed back in the Centre. I’m not sure if it’s worth putting up the photo, but I might as will. Just as a record shot.
