Rain this morning so rather than go out in the rain to get wood from the woodpile to stock up the log basket I got some from the conservatory - some ash from a branch a neighbour had cut down when putting a shed under the tree this summer (ash can be burnt new, it doesn't need seasoning) and some unknown bush rescued from another neighbour two years ago.
Having been whimpish about the rain in the garden, I then cycled off in it to go kayaking! Ready to turn around and come straight home if none of my paddling group had turned up, but only missing one of the core group. As it wasn't windy or particularly cold it was an enjoyable paddle. Saw some comerants perched on a pylon, and a group of 40+ swans near the bottom of the old River Lea where it comes out into the Navigation below Tottenham Lock. Further smaller groups of swans a little further on.
This week two polyanthus out in the garden, the first daffodil showing yellow, and my neighbours forsythia (spelling?) in flower. The latter must have suddenly burst into flower as it is not just one or two buds but flowers all over, even if not a mass of yellow yet.
