- Sweat, baby, sweat
- Got a haircut.
- Identified a goldcrest in the garden with the help of the Merlin Bird App. Then as I was sat by the pond convening with the frogs and the newts it flew down, perched on an unfurled lily and washed its face in the water.
- I also noticed we have some nesting blackbirds in the… wall plant… I should really learn the name of it. Anyway, very cool but you can look right into the nest if you grab a chair.
- On Wednesday, as I was walking out of convent garden feeling so overwhelmed by all the commotion that I had to put on my noise cancelling headphones, a woman stopped me to tell me she liked my outfit (green jumper and green polo from MHL) and jeans I sewed myself. Because of the overwhelm I just put my hands on my head and said thank you several times in a row.
- I was on my way to compère Interesting again. It was a really good line up this year and Russell does an incredible job of warming up the audience to be ready to take an interest in wherever the speaker takes them.
- For the weekend the Posso family cane to stay. On Saturday we went to the beach and had a picnic. Please enjoy my novel way to stop people being confused about what is in the sandwiches. That is edible pen. I had a swim in the rather frigid sea. Then we got everyone back for a BBQ. On Sunday we went to the park and then to two of the gardens that are open for the Artist’s Open Houses - Cat’s Creep, which has an amazing bird house and a pond full of newts, and the Avant Garden, where we sat and made some sculptures with silk clay.
