28th March 2026 - Susie takes the strain

Thought for the day :"The Royal Arachnaphobia Society apparently has a Website. Follow this thread"

Dry 

I was out and about early this morning to get to Gwili Conclave of the Order of  the Secret Monitor at Carmarthen. Checked the honours board and se that I was in the Chair in Carmarthen in Gwili 30 years ago. Yes it seems I am the most Senior Past Master as well as Past Grand Visitor (Very Worthy!) 

Seems I have been missed as the ceremonial was very laboured and needed nudging in a number of areas.

Played the Organ and tried to keep a low profile - tried - failed !

Meanwhile, back at the homestead Susie was working hard on her fruit beds and clearing the brambles and getting ready for spring.

Walked the dogs and that was good enough for me - so time for  short nap

Meanwhile, a photo I forgot to take yesterday, the new Scandinavian wood store outside the bedroom.  

Sowing grass seed in the bare patches - hoping that the chickens do not just treat it as an extar feed.

Some flowering blossoms

Susie's Monkey Puzzle tree is growing though slowly

And Susie's Mulberry Tree has a new location 

Ducks !

And so we get to that time of the year where the clocks need to be reset

Cheers
