1 Nervously put in the leccy readings but not too bad at all, I will be giving another reading at the end of the month to make sure we are paying the right thing
2 Popped to the docs for my injection first thing this morning but their day had already started with an emergency, I was happy and chatty despite needing the injection, the nurse wanted to know what I was like normally i.e. after the injection had kicked in, I just said even more chatty. I’m just happy the sunshine’s making an appearance, I think.
3 I spent the morning cleaning and tidying and was looking forward to the afternoon in the garden, but the stairs are done and treads now on, but dh decided he was replacing the floorboards on the landing which meant re painting, so this afternoon I had to add another coat of paint to the landing, the first coat is on a pleasure.
4 From the freezer to oven with haddock, chips and mixed veg.
5 Watching a very strange comedic film on Prime.

the joy of walking in it
the beautiful blossom on the trees
tiny flowers appearing in the grass in my wildflower area

An extra one: the beautiful bright moon last night,11 -

For yesterday,
Scrambled egg on toast for breakfast.
Our bedding washed and dried on the line. Also did small dogs towels and beddings.
Sat on the back doorstep with a cuppa, face up to the sun. All the daffodils are now out in the borders and the hedge is full of busy birds. Spotted a tiny wren down the side of the old well, pulling up moss from the grass and flying off towards the trellis where the honeysuckle is.
Over at the yard, chat with fellow livery owner, school was busy so day off today. I gave her a pamper instead including taking a lot of weight out of her mane and left it a lot shorter.
Three deer in the field early evening, we haven’t seen any for months.

Good morning
What a delight to read all your pleasures and joy in the sun.
Paulie - I don't know what your day job is, but I think you should give it up and be a photographer. That picture is stunning!
S Sue - your loud lilies made me chuckle.
Lainey - a well in the garden! Sounds wonderful.
Admiral - I absolutely agree about celery. It's evil stuff!
We've been enjoying the sun too, at the seaside. The sea positively sparkled yesterday and everything looks fresh and new.
Lots of roadside daffodils on the way here and the bare trees are just beginning to have a sort of green blush. Oh I love spring!
Happy springy day everyone12 -
