Sunshine!

We've (mostly) had a lovely sunny day, here. Still a lot of snow about (we've cancelled this afternoon's riding lesson, sigh), but it's been nice and bright.
This is just as well, as we've also moved the first of the seedlings out of the propagator and onto the kitchen windowsill top of the microwave. I'm astonished that any of them germinated, given that Mike has been lifting the lid off five times a day to check for progress. At least he wasn't digging them up to check. So far, we've got some chilli peppers and one of the varieties of sweet peppers, but I'm sure that the others will make themselves known soon. Just hope that they're warm enough overnight in the kitchen: the Aga's still out of action, as the part is proving tricky to source.
Slightly less cheerfully, the glass plate fell off the side of the house the other day. It was glued to the wall of the house, on either side of a repaired crack, the idea being that if the crack widens the glass will break and you can see that there's a problem. However, we're not *too* worried about it: firstly, when we had the roofing guy in a few weeks ago he looked at it and made the perfectly sensible comment that, unless we went up on a ladder and poked it, we didn't actually know that (eg) the glue hadn't perished and it was just balanced up there on the supporting nails and secondly it happened the day after we'd had the windows and gutters cleaned, so the roofer was probably right (and, now that I think if it, thirdly there wasn't any glue on the glass, it's still stuck on the wall). We do now need to decided if we should get a new plate put on, though. |
