I keep meaning and meaning to post again, and I haven't for ages. But tonight I want to just post some pics for [livejournal.com profile] firefly1311, and generally say hi again to everyone at the same time. Hi again! *g*

It's been a glorious few weeks over here, and now we have clouds and rain for a bit, which the ground is sooooo thankful for! And veg plots and flower beds, and metal detectorists who want to dig in the hard dry ground are thankful for it too. *g* (Though it's not really been much yet...)

There's been some detectoring, and some scarecrow-making for our village scarecrow trail...

So even though I'm back at work again, it's not too shabby really. Driving me slightly mad that my usual exam-work break from proofreading isn't on this year, and I'm definitely going to have to take more breaks as I go along (otherwise my eyes and my brain give up entirely *g*), but... Oh, and I've started my re-read of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books. I've been waiting so patiently because I knew once I started I wouldn't want to read anything else until I'd read all 27 or so, and then I realised I'd been patient for about ten years, and that means I'm definitely allowed to indulge! Plus I'd forgotten just how joyful they are. *g*

How're you doing? *g*

I'm listening to A/M read by Simon Vance - very good narrator.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! For the moons and the cows and the flowers and the extraordinary scarecrow (daughter will love her). Right now mother has some neighbours over here so I can snatch a few minutes, but time for myself will be skimpy in the near future. So I enjoy it very much to find so lovely thoughts from you. Thank you again.

Such lovely pictures, especially the flowers in bloom. And what a great idea, a scarecrow trail!

Still trading along on my book challenges, but also doing a lot of crafts. We have gotten so industrious! *g*

'Allo you! \o/

Love the pics, ta ever so. Hasn't it been amazing lately? The weather has been so wonderful - my camera roll is full of photos that look like Greece.

I've been meaning to read Patrick O'Brian's books for the longest time too, I really really must. I've been picking them up in charity shops forever. It's finding the time!

Happy weekend - enjoy!

What do you mean it was already June, I - oh dear, now it's not even the beginning of June and I'm even further behind :-s Well just to say hi and look after yourself and thank you for the lovely photos! I'm just trying to get back into some work, think what little brain I had available is a bit turned to mush - probably should never have defrosted it ... *g*
