Oh, it's weird times, isn't it... Don't know about you, but I'm finding it fairly hard to focus on any one thing. I have the Lads in Lockdown half in mind - I know all sorts that are going to happen, but my brain's still chuntering along the next few hours after Doyle's... well, that would be telling. *g* But I'm determined my brain will re-focus and get there. *g* I'm slightly distracted by having done something to my wrist - not sure why, but it's a bit swollen and sore, even just lying in cushioned comfort in bed at night - and by my laptop mouse playing up a bit too - gargh! Still, I'm relatively comfortable here at home, my volunteer patch seems to be sorted, and even if the wind was cold today, and the clouds were out, there was also still sunshine.

The clocks went forward here today. On the one hand we lost an hour, on the other hand - light, glorious light in the evenings (which is when I tend to be most awake...)

My goal today was to plant some seeds in the greenhouse that Landlord won't be using this season, but in the end I kept being interrupted, and only got as far as clearing my veggie bed. Still, that's a happy thing to start with.

On the bright side, Landlord says he's not planning to do any more gardening than he can near the house, so I've probably got two greenhouses to myself, as well as his three-times-the-size veggie bed outside. Let's see what I can do... I have work tomorrow, and half a day on Tuesday at the moment - hopefully I can do some gardening around that.

My Christmas cactus made me happy today - she's also an Easter cactus (which she has been before, so I did wonder... *g*

And the goblin village was back again tonight at sunset - look at this amazing goblin cathedral... *g*

Ooh, I'm seeing wolfs-head windows, too... *g*

Otherwise, I sunk into watching Bridget Jones' Baby this evening, and when I've got time I'll catch up with the second ep of McDonald and Dodds. But last night - last night I watched a random Pros ep, which turned out to be - Involvement. I so love that moment at the end where Bodie goes after Doyle, Doyle shrugs him off, and then is the one who puts his arm around Bodie at the end... *sigh*

Speaking of *sigh* - I'm rereading Tangled Web by Jack Reuben Darcy, which I adore - my heart for them... *g* Anyone else reading Pros fic? Or watching eps?

Take care, my lj-friends - stay at home, wash your hands, and keep half an eye on the sunshine, because it will always be out there for us.

Your posts are bringing me spring, since our weather is grey and chilly, not to mention the social distancing thing keeping people at home. Your vegetable bed looks ready! And your flowering cactus is beautiful.

Love the random Pros Ep Idea.
After listening to Society of Gentlemen all day I wanted to watch Keeves and Wooster, but we talked as a family instead. Very nice!

Thanks so much for posting such lovely things - I can practically smell the earth in your veg patch and look forward to many more pictures of sunshine and flowers! :D

Mmmmm, love the warming earth picture. Can't wait to see what you grow.

And yep, I'm comfort-reading Larton for the umpteenth time. Tragic! But lovely. And incredibly comforting.

Oh, Involvement is one of my favorites, too many precious moments there. And Cowley has to stop Bodie twice from running after Doyle! *sigh indeed*

You got me into reading Tangled Web now, started yesterday before sleep πŸ™‚

Yep, doing a rewatch while on lockdown (as if I needed an excuse) and am going to watch Hunter Hunted next!!! Can’t wait 😍

Girl, take care of that wrist. You mentioned your mouse being silly, could it be that the cause?
