Thanks for the compliment @ianpspurs
Thanks for the compliment @ianpspursMorning all from a verisimilitude of Spring here in Little America on Boat Race day 2024. No prizes for guessing for which crew I will be rooting but I'm pretty sure the blue team will win. One of two sports where the winning team goes backwards fastest. @gennepher thanks for sharing the creative which absolutely amazes me knowing you were determined to draw this with one line that doesn't leave the page until I have finished. @dunelm thanks for sharing the wonderful art and take it easy today. @Annb hug for the breathlessness but good news on your cousin sending a greeting. @Krystyna23040 that isn't naughty just not toeing the party line of continual mortifying our corrupt affections - enjoy responsibly as the ads say. Your post set me off thinking of Blooms Taxonomy - don't ask - but LC for me doesn't reach the affective domain which your treats quite clearly achieved - bravo. Later today should see #1 son cutting my lawns and his children having an early Easter egg hunt but first some vacuuming and dusting then tea. What's not to like in that? Hope you’ve all bought your new clothes for the morrow.
All going on as usual in the garden and the birds will be well into song. Smashing little one line earless sketchFbg 6.6
Sun today.
The whole countryside has visited my back garden again. I don't need trail camera videos to tell me that.,,
My wormery has been raided again. It is a huge tall dustbin. I had fed the worms last night. I had put an extra security measure inside - a very heavy upturned plant pot so the badgers couldn't scoop all my worms out. So, when the badgers pulled all the duct tape off securely fastening the lid on, Henrietta, Martin, Sally, and all their worm friends had enough warning to manage to skedaddle to the bottom of the wormery and safety.

This footage is from the night before last, when I said the countryside was in my garden again. Badgers were rampaging round my garden all night. And here is a little of the footage.
Two new Badgers - one of them jumped on and off the swing with great ease many times all night. I recorded about 20 times of this new agile badger...
1 min 46 secs
Creative - another quick sketch. He looks a bit odd because I forgot his ear. It would've made more sense with his ear...but as I draw this with one line that doesn't leave the page until I have finished, I couldn't then just draw his ear. Them's my rules....
Cat Midnight woke up alarmed in the early hours, woke me up with the force of his somersault leaping off my belly (he somersaults when something alarms him in his sleep), and charged outside with the force of a cannonball. The first time he did this I nearly had a heart attack. No catflap stands a chance with him around, which is why I just have a hole in my kitchen door now...
I won't have time to look at the current footage in the trail cameras to find out what went on outside, not for a few days, because I am still getting ready for daughter from Australia...
So much to do.
I need a quick nap first. I've been awake since that 28lb black furry sack of potatoes woke me up.
So much to watch outside, the birds are very active and quarrelsome, and feeding like crazy...
Have your best kind of day...
A cuppa tea first...

Thank you @gennepherPretty amazing and detailed this art bit. A lot in it...
Have a good day @dunelm
Ooh, Lucky JimWell written and punches many bruises as they say. Provided a few minutes of pleasure along with a CWC but exercise your free will as always. The first paragraph is a doozy.
Thanks @ianpspurs - yes, just a short walk to the pharmacist and back - steady awayMorning all from a verisimilitude of Spring here in Little America on Boat Race day 2024.

Blimey, talk about spring cleaning. It’s like Mary Poppins’ Gladstone bag or somebodies shed on The Falkland Islands - they are tremendous magpies down that way.9.4 when I finally got up again (about 06:30) having gone back to bed around 03:00. Currently 8.4 after basal insulin and a cup of tea. Breakfast soon.
Neil was hoping to go to the recycling place in Stornoway today with various electrical things he found in the loft but, being the Easter weekend, we're not sure it will be open. It usually opens on Saturday and closes on Monday but this Monday, being Easter Monday they would lose their day off so may also be given this Saturday. He says he'll just load the car and go on Tuesday (a 30 mile round trip for nothing, if they are closed today - no indication online about opening hours/days to advise).
The container is slowly filling up and Neil keeps finding things we had totally forgotten like a decorative wooden plaque we bought from a bum-boat in the Suez canal in 1965. There were 2 but I think all the mother of pearl decoration fell off the other one and it may have been thrown out; like a leather coat Neil bought for himself years ago and hasn't been worn since he moved home in 2012; like a small CRT television and a microwave that he repaired and kept; like large bits of carpet from a roll we covered a bedroom floor with or a bag of rolls of wallpaper. Why do we keep these things? The wood, though, is a whole other ballgame. It seems to be never-ending, stacks of 8+ft lengths of all different sizes of wood from beading to huge planks. And I think there are still more lengths to come down.
Onwards and upwards (or in this case downwards from the loft), but first Breakfast!
I think this bad weather is all San Andreas’ fault.Good morning from California!
Happy Saturday 4.55 mmol/L 82 mg/dL.bad weather in Santa Cruz, heavy rain️ power outages.

you have lost the wheel barrow.Good morning everyone on another sunny start here in the dark and dangerous north. Another pleasing walk down and along the lower prom but found the return, up the cliff steps and back home a little uncomfortable. I will be going for a shorter walk today - all days are good, but some days are more good than others (Sorry George). Mrs Miggins will be taking The Girl In The Bubble to dancing this morning and then doing part of the Cleveland Way with her sister this aftenoon - I will be dropping them off down the coast a bit and they will walk back. Best think what I will prepare for dinner - some chicken and leeks in the fridge - that will work. Art bit - added a bit of gouache. Hope your day is on the right place on the pleasantly spectrum. I best make koffy and do some exercise - creak, creak!

I enjoyed.Well written and punches many bruises as they say. Provided a few minutes of pleasure along with a CWC but exercise your free will as always. The first paragraph is a doozy.
One of my favourite films.That like "Cool Runnings" the badger version, there @genn.
It's the Jamaican badger up against the German foxes & the Switzerland cat teams.
The first run ..oh dear oh dear...(00.13)
an ok mount up , but that dismount...abysmal.
improving throughout and by the end where badger Daley, nailed the dismount, I think the other teams had a grudging respect for team badger ..
.
Not while it's in your pocket!Mine too.
