Friday 24th January 2014






A glorious day. Chilly, sunny, breezy but day spoilt by heavy evening rain.
21mm Rainfall between 6 - midnight.
Average wind speed 5mph.
Average outdoor temp' 9mph.
Spent day making a Squirrel proof monkey nut feeder. Will be fun watching how it approaches this feeder now. Tufty Cam set up to record the outcome.
Back in October during the garden winter clear up I emptied a small amount of multi purpose compost into a tub and covered with a bowl. To my surprise on removing the bowl this morning it was clear I had created a micro climate. Growing in the compost were the most colourful fungi. 
         Enjoyed an evening out with Sue & Jorge at the Strada Italian in the Oracle. A very wet trip into town so not many diners sitting outside! Caught up with Lavers gossip, in retirement this is what I miss about work, the work banter.
