‘Have you given up blogging then?’ the other half inquired rather plaintively this morning (despite the fact that I’m not, and never will be, as funny as I was in 2005).
The fact is, there’s a sweet spot between not doing anything interesting to blog about, and not having enough time to blog about it, and I’m still overshooting it. I may, technically, have become less busy at the end of last week but that doesn’t seem to have translated into my having any more time. Maybe next week …
Part of the problem is that I’m still extricating myself from the clutches of the community council in the parish I no longer live in as even an appeal from the pulpit has not yet produced a willing volunteer to become secretary in my stead. That also means helping distribute the newsletter, which the Brompton and I duly did this afternoon.
Oh okay, so maybe it wasn’t that much of a hardship on an early spring afternoon.
Chionodoxa luciliae
In other news, my birthday present to myself has arrived a few days early.
Town Mouse 
I still enjoy reading your blog as much now as I did then.
I look forward to seeing what you bought for your birthday. xx
Thank you!
I should have been clearer – last autumn I planted the chionodoxa bulbs because they always flower around my birthday but they’ve got going a bit early
You’re welcome. They’re a nice present to yourself albeit a bit early. xx
My hope is that they will peak next week … although it looks as if the hares have been having a nibble
