I keep forgetting my camera, which is making this blog too wordy and means I'm unable to prove a) a chicken egg found in one of the carrot boxes, and b) my neighbour's amazonian strength when using a gardening fork.
The chicken egg was weighted, and clearly dead, so we didn't want to look inside. It was obviously nicked and buried by a cheeky creature who thought we wouldn't notice.
My neighbour stuck her gardening fork in the ground to dig a patch for our dormant goosebob bushes to move into. Our plot is very stony, and after she'd dug up half a small cottage worth of stones, she got one caught in the tines. After pulling on the fork, she brought it out of the ground to reveal it pointing with one finger, as if to say 'that was you, that was.' Ooh we did laff.
Being the hardy young lass that she is (guffaw), she carried on with the bent fork regardless, and we got the job done.
The sun was out today, but it was hard work. It wasn't just my arthritic knee. I'm quite young (guffaw) to have such a thing wrong with me, but it was the fact that I'd only had two slices of toast for breakfast, and we were out there till 3pm with no lunch. My neighbour is a slave driver.
We also planted some bulbs today, to lift our spirits come next Spring. I tried to plant them in the letters of my daughter's name but some stones got stuck in the third letter. I'm not going to mention it to anyone.

Forgetting the camera is one of my habits too. You can get away with it if you bring stuff home though ;>)
