Monday 12th March 2012

Another very warm, sunny day. Confused about the temp' however. Would say it was as warm as yesterday but Weather Station only registered 13c in full sun mid afternoon. Warm anyway!
Spent morning removing and repotting Alphine Plants from excisting site. Already to transfer now to the new raised bed.
          Great Tit very interested in the Woody Nest Box. At one point there were two in the box. Has been noticed Woody has shown less interest this last week.
Frogs very busy now, reckon Spawn this weekend. Over the winter the Marsh Marigild died as did the Arum Lily. Bought replacement plants over the weekend from Henry Street, propose to plant tomorrow.
        Announced on FB tonight details of this years Sunflower Competition. All taking part to sow seeds this weekend. A lot of interest has been shown so expect the competition to be more popular this year!
         Afternoon at University Health Centre where Lorna had a small operation on her eyes to aleviate 'Floaters'. Refered to the Hospital by Optician 10 days ago, today sorted. Again 100% service by the NHS.
