Yesterday kayaked to Limehouse Basin and back. Have seen no ducklings or coot chicks this year, but yesterday I saw a family of quite big ducklings and several coot families including one where the coot chicks had lost their red head feathers and got their white throats.
I've put myself down for a workshop for lining curtains with insulated lining later this month. Plan to start with my door curtain as the wood of the door has shrunk leaving slits you can see light through! This is a second hand curtain I've had up for 15 years, so decided to wash it. It survived the wash but shrunk in the process. Luckily it has a deep hem, so I've unpicked it and will lengthen it.
Need some potting soil so went to Homebase and they had only 50 litre bags, far too heavy for me to lift and they would kill my shopping trolley. Went to B&Q today to see if I could find 20l there but got there just as they shut. I also need some copper tape to put round pots to stop slugs, but see the Wriggly Wrigglers catalogue have these.
