| Why didn't the squirrels eat us? |
It is not often you ring someone in the NHS and they can't talk for laughing but a lady in the x-ray department was almost hysterical this morning. It was refreshing. She and her friend had a pact that they would propose marriage to the first man they saw. However, an octegenarian with a zimmer frame was not suitable (shame on the NHS for such ageism) and she wondered if I knew anyone who might be available. (I didn't.) She was simply
desperate to 'have a go' at the Big Question. Perhaps it is a good thing that leap year only comes round once every 4 years.
Anyway, appointment made (painful hip) I swallowed some more paracetamol and hobbled round the plot with my camera. You can see a lot in a slow wander.

| What a mess! Badger damage amongst the daffodils |

| It's time the hens were moved to new pasture. Good dust bath though! |

| Autumn planted shallots and onions doing well |

 |
| Pansies and salads still doing well |
Pity I could not pull up a few weeds and cut back the flower borders. However, aching hip or not, I managed to prune a few stray branches from the climbing roses, sow some seeds and do a bit of tidying in the shed.
