Two days ago there were only buds.
Today there is this.
Spring is like that.
Innit great?
This is (half of) my original
spirea, the one with the gorgeous name 'Snow in Summer'. This is why I love
spireas (
spireae?), regardless of how 'non-rare' (how PC!) they are around here. They're big and bold and boisterous and pretty much irrepressible. [frowns] Am I describing myself here?
And yes, I know the grass needs mowing - it's been too damp to do it. Maybe Sunday if Ken feels up to it (I can't, the lawnmower is a brute and I can't use my hands after only ten minutes. I might try my new - little, very light - strimmer though.)
After yesterday's sickness, today the bug has resolved itself into a cold. Just a cold, but
gods I hate 'em! Stinging, bunged up sinuses, sore and scratchy throat, overly-sensitive skin...
so glad they don't last long.
Wrote and emailed this month's book review, just scraping in on the deadline. Cleared up some bits of business. Slept a lot (
two naps!? Unheard of! Must need it though, especially if the cold takes its usual course and doesn't let me sleep for the 2-3 days it's at its worst. Though that might not happen, I might get off lightly.)
Tomorrow Ken is taking Kai to The Dings (isn't that a great name for a place? There's nowt there, just a park and a place where the old railway ran, as far as I can tell - it's the railway tracks Kai wants to see.) I have a whole load of things to get done, things I
should have been able to do
last weekend when I
should have had a
holiday [glower]. As well as transplant the dozens and dozens of tomato seedlings, and prepare a bonsai pot for the
nashi pear pip that's sprouting!

ludisia dawsoniana flowers! Aren't they lovely?
But right now I'm going back home to
Haadri...
