Rain is coming in, slowly, bit of a chill out there. Looks like it will be hanging around for the coming week too, I might pop a bucket out on the deck to start collecting rain water. It's good stuff in a tank, lol.
I scored one of those big preprepared chooks in a roasting bag at a silly price at the supermarket on Friday and decided I would roast it yesterday afternoon. Put the oven on, put the bird in its bag on a roasting dish on the bench near the stove ready to go in and went back to my book while the oven heated... Two hours hater I wondered why I couldn't smell roasting chicken - stupid stupid woman. So it was a somewhat late dinner for me and Tatt, she does like a wee bit of freshly roasted chicken. But from the look of what is left of that gorgeous bird I am set for a few rainy days now!
So I can read to my hearts content...
Oh! And great excitement - my grandmothers ginkgo bonsai has a teeny touch of green on one of its leaf nodes, so I can stop worrying if it had survived the winter. And my incompetence. Closing in on fifty years old now, so it is a hell of a responsibility for such a small tree. I would really like to find a bonsai master to take it over and look after it properly, but they are few and far between it seems...
