There's a shit load of really crap stuff going on in my life at the moment so I've decided that this blog is going to be the happy blog. Only good stuff can be posted here. So, on a happy note, you'd know the breeding season is getting under way. In the last couple of we
eks the birds that visit my feeding station have transformed from slightly scruffy, relatively dull, untidy looking birds into brightly coloured, perfectly groomed specimens! Looking particularly dapper are the chaffinches and great tits although the rest are noticeably brighter and and sleeker than they were too. I've been trying to take some photos but my camera isn't really up to it. Instead here's a picture of the frog spawn in the pond. Although still encased in the gelatinous membrane the shape of each tadpole has become apparent. The only casualties seem to be the top layer of the first clump that was frozen solid for several days. These are still the original black dots so I can only assume they've died.
The other good news is that my tomatoes have started to germinate. I can grow them on for a month or six weeks in their current pots but then I'll need to pot them on into bigger pots prior to putting them outside when danger of frost has passed. Don't know where I'll keep them when they're in bigger pots! My sitting room is already looking like a greenhouse and I'm rapidly running of of places to put things.
