Fire and water

Just as well it was a really hot day as Matti insisted on 'helping' with watering the UFO landing marks that appeared in the paddock recently. With no change of clothes to be found. They also discovered that it's extremely difficult to burn a bird's feather. I said that's what makes them really good for making quills to write with and then wonderd why on earth I'd said that. I blame it on the sun.

I hope they're not baby triffids

Sitting outside in the brilliant Easter weekend sunshine, I found myself in some kind of seedstorm as hundreds of tiny white fluffy seeds floated around. It wasn't just an occasional few bits blown in on a passing breeze but went on for hours and goodness knows how many found their way into the inner workings of either the laptop or my ears. I tried really hard to get a photo but by the time I'd figured out how to snap a few they'd subsided. Anyway, if you look closely you'll see the little white specks aren't mistakes but some of the seeds. Some are still flying out of the cooler outlets inside the car too! So whatever they grow into should be sprouting up everywhere later this year! I just hope they're not baby triffids!

April sun

It just dawned on me

Sunshine, more lambs, the camp and a rabbit

Lovely weekend and finally I have emerged from hibernation and actually walked somewhere. Matti and I wandered across the field, said Hi to some lambs and came to the conclusion that their camp (three ancient trees in a row on a small hill) would soon be invaded by stinging nettles. Then he found a tiny rabbit who seemed a bit lost. I even had time to clean the car which, epecially having lost an hour too, makes me quite sure I have forgotten to do something important. I mean, time usually flies by on Sundays and it's Monday shortly after Saturday night. Nice, though. And so was the rabbit.
