The weather has changed this morning. I realise the weather is always changing where we are but I felt it was a significant enough change for me to mention it. I may even put on a pair of long trousers today, just for a change. I don’t think I’d like to live somewhere where the weather is constantly nice all year round. It isn’t that I don’t like warm weather. It’s just that I like change. The changes in the seasons.
We picked a load of apples yesterday. The nice ones will be properly stored to see us in vitamin c through the long winter months ahead. The manky ones will be crushed and squeezed for their juice to make cider.
The lake cam picked up a first for our garden last night. We had a couple of what appear to be muntjac deer appear through the fence. Doe with fawn. Don’t know where they exited the garden afterwards. Presumably there have been other deer visitations but before now we didn’t have the spy tech in place to record the event. What next I wonder? 🙂 What is quite pleasing is that the solar tech that powers the lake cam seems to work quite well. The internal battery does begin to drain overnight but by the time I look in the morning it is back up to 100%.
The camera only has a 32GB memory which seems to be consumed at the rate of a gig a day but that is largely down to it picking up human activity in the garden. It is easy enough to download the media you want to keep and delete the rest and when we are away it should only detect wildlife. And burglars.
Was in the shed by eight this morning having breakfasted well on two excellent slices of toast. Seeded sourdough. The seeds pop in the toaster. We like the sound of them popping and it usually signals that the toast is ready. Sourdough, for me, is exclusively used for toasting. I prefer “ordinary” bread for sandwiches. My go to sarnie is ham or ham and mustard but cheese and onion or pickle is also good. Has to be strong cheddar. I don’t mind other fillings such as tuna or smoked salmon or even chicken with stuffing and, if available, a dribble of gravy.
All is now quiet.
Well it was quiet. I can hear a car somewhere. School dropping off time is upon us. Remember those days? Ah yes I remember it well.
PS the title is an in joke 🙂
