Hurrah, nice shuttle bus driver + @doop.bsky.social reunited me with Chair which I left on the bus. (Chair has been attending festivals with me for 23 years so would have been missed.) #emfcamp
It's Book Quote Wednesday & this week's word is "change". Cade probably won't be getting any dinner... #bqw books2read.com/Song-Stone-Scale-Bone
It's Book Quote Wednesday & this week's word is "after". Cade is problem-solving. #bqw books2read.com/Song-Stone-Scale-Bone

I am not happy about this weather but the grape vines and the fig tree are LOVING it.

We visited the Lost Gardens of Heligan earlier this week - highlights included seeing two hummingbird hawk-moths zipping around the flowers, LOADS of swallows zooming across the grass, and this amazing sculpture (made from a fallen rhododendron tree).

A few nights ago it was so hot I was sleeping with the window wide open & still overheating. Now I’m sitting in a park shivering and the sun’s not even all the way set yet. Pretty evening though!
The Drama Neem is returning to life! (It was in a draft for a couple of days over the winter and immediately dropped all its leaves and reverted to stickhood.)
British Museum today: ravens and geese! (Ireland, late Bronze Age, 1090-900BCE)
L & I are off out this morning to play hide & seek in London! (A limited game board for this trial run - within the Circle line.)
It's Book Quote Wednesday #bookqw and this week's word is OLD. Cade is not-quite-lost in the catacombs.
Downside of March camping: very nearly freezing, spent the night entirely within my sleeping bag, head and all. Upside of March camping: gorgeous sunset.
It's Book Quote Wednesday #bookqw and this week's word is KNIFE. Cade is having a chat with a ghost.
The teenager got this after we played a friend’s copy on holiday & I am enjoying it. Strategic enough to be interesting, fast enough that I don’t get fed up ;)
The tiny thyme sprout has made it through the winter! (It was only about 3 leaf pairs big in October and I thought it had no chance.)
The sea is somewhere out there. As is Skegness. Though I walked out for about 5 min and found only a large puddle.
Seen in the British Museum today: an Amazon chucking a rock at a Greek soldier (part of the Mausoleum at Halikarnassos, 353-351 BC); a cup that looks like a friendly gryphon (Apulia, 360-350 BC).
Some very patchwork-y patchwork. I’m making an iPad Mini case from scraps.
