hello

 if you build it, they will come.... isn't that what Michelangelo once said?

In my case, if you build it, you will probably find you don't have time to maintain it..... my attention span is so short lived that for three days i've pretty much neglected the whole "reading and writing" thing.....

We just get busy, don't we?

Today .....

I got up and knew exactly where my keys were.... AND the door was already unlocked, ready for me....

It's job centre day.... they come round quickly these fortnightly appointments.  So quickly, in fact, that i almost forgot this one.

The reason i almost forgot?  I've arranged to have a day fishing with me mate, John.  Well, the hot weather today and bright sunshine generally means the fish won't be much interested in eating whatever i throw at them, they'll be too busy sunning themselves and splashing about on top of the water (the warmer layers, see)..... so meeting John at 11ish now, means i won't get fishing till about 12ish, so it's now half a day fishing.....

I've so much gear to take to the pond today for a few hours that i had to start packing the car last night.....  sounds silly, i know, but once you're there, you can't just be nipping home to get a disgorger or a plummet or some silly piece of kit you forgot.

So, that's it....... busy busy.... doing not very much i guess.....

here's a really "out of focus" photo of a bog cranberry flower....... midst a tray of propagated sphagnum moss which looks really nice.
