Morning. The sky was a clear blue earlier but has now become a milky blue due to all of the expanding aeroplane vapour trails . I think there is far too much flying.
Come to think of it . There are more planes going overhead than when RAF Lyneham was open .

My wife wanted to take a picture of them yesterday evening, they're surprisingly difficult for a camera to focus on, because we seem to have far more here.

Where do I put the carrots?

Fill lengths of drainpipe with topsoil and plant them in those.

Carrots can be grown in containers or in the ground. They like an open, sunny position and well-drained soil. Avoid soil that has a lot of clay or stones as your carrots may become stunted or forked. Try not to disturb your carrots when they are growing as this releases a smell which attracts carrot fly. Carrot fly only flies a few inches above the ground so putting up sides or covering works well to prevent infestation.

.
I believe too much fertiliser can cause them to fork as well

In other news, we seem to have a blackbird war going on in the neighbourhood. And are they noisy about it!

And BTW, do birds nest in holly? Our predecessors seem to have had a liking for prickly trees/bushes and I want to remove them.

Fish are spawning in my work pond, ii thought the heron and the cat had taken all the original 10 fish, looks like 3 have been hidden for ages.
I've fully netted it now so they can chill and get on with fish stuff..

I've just reorganised our filing system, eaten three banana chips, and knocked over a glass of water on my desk.

Did you spill any of it though?

Guess.

On the positive side, the desk is cleaner now.

Not feeling great today, kept waking up last night - was really low last night, completely unlike my usual mood. Usually feel like it on rest days....I have this battle in my head that I should be resting as it's important for recovery etc but then I feel like I shouldn't be resting as I need to keep going. ARGH....stupid anxiety...I only have 1-2 rest days a week so it's not like I am lazy. I just hate feeling this way....

Join me in having a plumpitty day then. Misery loves company xxx

Seriously, hope you feel more chipper soon.

My darling parental unit has given me her lurgi. Talk about sharing...

It's a lovely day though, which sort of makes up for it. No for me today as I'd have to stop off too many times for a natural. Might just chillax in the garden for a bit.

I went out on my Falcon and incorporated a bit of train spotting. It went through , but just as a new Hitachi thing went up. Almost missed it .
Carried on afterwards through to Notton around and back. It's nice out . Almost had a meal whilst I was out ! There are a lot of insects flying about .
