well it's a nice day here. there was a plan to get the bus into the village and load up on provisions (but horsemouth always thought it was a bit foolish).
he's been out in the garden and the greenhouse attempting to plant things. so far only the nasturtiums (13 in all) have come up (and the hellebore have survived being potted out). horsemouth is not seeing any sign of anything else yet.
if it all works out he's put in half a row of peas, and some spring onion and parsnip seeds in the lower raised bed (now to see if they come up). horsemouth is adopting a plant-it-and-see strategy. having taken the time to read the self-sufficiency guide more closely he's now soaking the remainder of the peas before planting them.
for the afternoon shift he tried separating out a grown hellebore (in a pot) from some kind of a woody shrub (also in the same pot). this he could have done while listening to the 1 o'clock news (except he couldn't because it was a saturday).
at some point horsemouth had an exploratory dig in the old garden to see what happened to the potatoes they didn't lift last year. (they are there still but tiny).
in the evening a zoom call with howard - lots of old photos, a cat visit, howard has been listening to autechre. he has a week to go and then it's half term for two weeks (when he hopes to get some music done). when he goes back it's exam weeks.
here a beautiful morning. horsemouth was up at what claimed to be 7.30 (but was in fact 6.30). it will make staying up late to watch things easier (at least temporarily).
last night he watched sapphire and steel: escape through a crack in time. time breaks in (a malevolent force). how is a house built (from the cellar up). is the roof really raised last?
