Also near the raspberries was an empty tub waiting to receive pretty flowers. Well, it had soil in it. Not terribly brilliant soil, but a poppy took a liking to it and was looking very delicate in the sunshine. And talking of poppies, I was walking to a friend’s house and came across a ‘drain poppy’!!
The house martins have babies again, and what a racket they make in the mornings! I’m not sure if this is the second or third lot they’ve had this year. Our next door neighbour says there’s a swift nesting somewhere nearby as she’s seen it quite often. I hadn’t noticed! They all fly so fast though. I can’t keep track of them. Mr and Mrs blackbird picked the last of the blackcurrants but I let them. I have six jars of blackcurrant jam, so that’ll do us until next year.
Clearing the craft room is still ongoing, and I came across a daily planner. I don’t know what this modern thing is where they put capital letters at odd places throughout the word, but it’s very silly. This daily planner was covered with the word ‘notes’ and had done this odd capital letter thing. Sadly, rather than the word ‘notes’, all I can see is ‘snot’ all along the bottom of the page. It’s terribly off-putting and is probably why it’s been festering in the craft room unused! Needless to say, I didn’t notice it until after I’d bought it. (Sorry about the dark photo – don’t know what went wrong there).
