Friday morning!

Good morning! Yesterday was a good work day - the document was not only actual proofreading rather than re-writing, it was an archaeology one! And I was good and started today's early-deadline one - and it also turned out to be proofreading instead of the usual basically-re-writing. Whee! So now I have half a day's work today - except that when it's the latter kind of doc it takes much longer. But still - cross fingers!

And there's going to be sun! It's misty right now, but it's already starting to clear, and there's blue sky appearing above my office-shed as I type this. And look - my potted bush is coming out all flowers already! Plus more of my bulbs are starting to come up. *g*

Here's what yesterday looked like. I settled my two main veggie beds on Wednesday, and added some organic peat-free compost to start doing its thing. Yeay! I planted some seeds inside too, and they're all snug on my windowsills now. *g* I even managed a quick walk yesterday around sunset, despite all that work. *g*

That's not a strange giant hare-type thing, that's one of the deer of course... *g*

Oh, but hang on - I have to show you my Monday walk! It was totally magical... First of all, I know you can't see it, but that first picture is of a woodpecker! I've never seen one around here, and of course I heard it first, and... woodpecker! A great spotted woodpecker, because it had a red tummy rather than a red head. *g* It's the next picture that's amazing though. I wondered what the silvery-line along the grass was as I walked through the paddock, because it looked like a suntrail on water - it turned out to be spider webs, and it moved with me as I walked across the field, because in fact it covered the whole entire field! It was a carpet of spider webbing, which seemed to radiate out from the far corner! I have never seen so much before!

I don't have a pic of the next magic, but then I saw a barn owl flying low along the river, up past this old barn, and away... ...and last but not least, met three of the deer as I was on my way back. Such a spring countryside walk! *g*

And it will still be light at 6pm tonight. Yeay! Le weekend!

Oh, you're like me then, didn't update to the new lj. I don't want to, it's not nearly as pretty as my original one! *g*

I reckon the crossed out ones are spam journals - I've actually had various comments at Pros comms that just say things like "Nice!" to a post, and are from ljs that seem to be some kind of advertising. I've reported them as spam, and hopefully they're caught by lj then and deleted etc. I guess it's just as easy for them to press kudos... Yucky spam. I guess it's always with us - at least there's not as much via email as there used to be!

I thought they might be dodgy because there don't seem to be that many deleted journals in my friends thingy over the years but then suddenly I receive kudos from apparently half a dozen deleted journals. It seems odd, especially given that these journals weren't friended to me anyway.

I think any friends journals that are likely to have been deleted (either because they've not been used for ages and lj has purged them, or more likely because the owners deleted them when they moved to Dreamwidth) are older ones from before the time of kudos, so I agree — pretty suspicious...
