The day after

Awake early, beautiful sunrise again.

Birds waking up one by one until the church bells tolled. Wrote and published yesterday’s blog – with a lot of photos! All the while keeping an eye on the sun, waiting for it to chase the shadows out of my garden so I could go into it. Filled the drum with as much of the thorns as I could – sigh, could barely see any progress, though. Then I reaped all my radishes opening up the bed for the next seeds. Only this time I didn’t just haphazardly sow all the seeds in the pack – this time I followed instructions to the letter! Only … I didn’t look properly and ended up burying some seeds a teeny bit too deep … like twice the recommended depth! Well, those little buggers better push up, hard! I planted a few peas and a few radishes, hopefully that’ll turn out better than the overcrowded fight-for-survival I’ve had going on there! Shared my crop with my neighbour – after all, it’s too much for one person! One of the Gazania showed her appreciation of being dug out by flowering again.



It’s been a slow, reasonably lazy Sunday – did laundry, etc. but nothing much. Another fifty birthday wishes on Facebook, quick dinner, hot shower, day over. Good night.
