For anyone worried about the visit to the vet with a cat yesterday, she is OK, the wounds were self-inflicted and have been cleaned. She has had cortisone and anti-biotic injections and gets soothing cream rubbed in the wounds twice a day. She has been enjoying the sun today.
Apart from a quick trip to the local market for fish (yes!), olives and tea, we have been very much in lockdown mode today, but in the garden in the main as it is warmer out than in! John has been playing with his pressure washers to make sure they still work (they do), and then blasting the 20 year old garden bench and the garden chairs to get them ready for the new season. Here's a thing. Virginia creeper suckers do not come off plastic with a pressure washer or a scouring pad - you heard it here first, folks!
I've been happily sowing seeds in cheap and improvised propagators - sweet corn in the Blue Peter style propagator as I don't have root trainers.
While in the proper propagators (well Lidl, 4 for 4 euros anyway), I've got sunflowers, lettuce, coriander, chillies, cherry tomatoes and butternut squash - many butternut squash.
Finally, what do you do with goose eggs? Well, I will probably make a quiche tomorrow with a couple, but I thought I would see if my ducks would like to try to hatch one. They don't seem too convinced!
And on that slightly bizarre note, I'm off for drinkie-poos in the garden. Know where you left your sanity for when this is all over!
