Sunday 25 March

• More snow last weekend - but still not the stuff you can make snow balls out of, so unable to make the snow birds I've been saving feathers for for over 2 years!
• Someone on Freegle wanted an old laptop so gave him mine. Have found some butane canisters which will go on Freegle  Thursday and hopefully be picked over the weekend. All this space created, even though not much, is thankfully received!
• Made bread Friday evening - first time I've made bread for over a year.
• Decanted sloe vodka - very syrupy which is surprising as it is only sloes and vodka - no sugar. I now leave it for 2 years.
• Ride through the Walthamstow Wetlands on Saturday. Low cloud but actually dry and quite mild. Wetlands not much changed from last month but geese very noisy. Rare finch must still be there as lots of people with equipment trained on a hedge just south of the engine house again.
• Frog spawn in pond. Lot of it but it is black. Is this healthy?
• Also several (3?) dead frogs near pond. Cats? Foxes?
• Moved one compost back to nearer the fence. Might be able to move one more, but will have to wait til after foxgloves flowered for others. Not much compost - all went back into the moved bin.
• Compostible toilet paper "plastic" isn't compostable in domestic circumstances. What I used to put in the compost bin is still there very visible. Mine now goes in the rubbish bin.
• Some bits of wood out of skips and sawed up most of it.
