this photo is about the only bright thing about today. it has been foggy and drizzling all day. no sign of the sky. so this is a reminder of sunny days and colour in the garden.

good news on the egg front though - 4 today and 4 yesterday. i knew those cockerels were the trouble!

if i wash my kitchen floor one more time i will wear it away! cat's paws and wet weather do not go together in any way other than 'messy'.

any sensible person would limit it to once a day..............

not only are the snowdrops starting to emerge, so are the daffodils. there are loads of green shoots... it is too early but very uplifting to see them. i worry that they may get eaten by the moles that are invading the garden, destroying the lawn and making mountains in the veg beds. do moles eat bulbs? i know daffodil bulbs are poisonous to humans - but what about moles?

if they are poisonous to moles i will stuff a load down the tunnels in the hope that the moles take the hint.
