Lots of progress to fill you in on! on the knitting front the Phildar cardigan is doing well I've done the back and both fronts and am on the trumpet sleeves - however I have rather long arms and get a bit bored doing the long straight bit of sleeves! hence why I often knit sleeveless tops! here's the first sleeve in progress:
And on the gardening side it's all been coming on very well with the sun and all this rain too! here's the greenhouse which has an awful lot of tomatoes in it and also the pots ad baskets settling in before it's warm enough to put them out, and they seem to be loving it in there! they get bigger every day.
and here's the first of the lettuces in their box - we'll be eating them soon the rate they're growing!
The blackbird family are having a bad day - they decided to teach the fledglings to fly today, they never learn that every year we all have a stressful day as they fly around screeching in panic and I run round trying to catch Tiggy the killer cat who leaps madly on all the poor dazed little baby blackbirds until I catch her and shut her in and put up with the banging on the cat flap all day! It started at 6am this morning when she spotted we had forgotten to lock the cat flap last night so she went and brought the first one in which thanks to the loud screeching we woke up and released, the next one wasn't so lucky as I didn't spot her in time as she ran up to the bedroom with it! Then the 3rd one was this afternoon while I was in the garden - cue mad dash by all parties concerned - Tiggy is now banging on the flap periodically coming in to me to shout loudly while Mr & Mrs Blackbird are flying back and forth trying to show the daft fledgling on the floor how easy it is (it's been an hour now and he's not moved!)
