Tuesday is Blah-day...

[byslantedlight]

I seem to be having one of those blah-days, even though I have lots of work to get on with, and there's lots of things to look forward to. Next weekend the clocks go forward here, and it will feel more cheerful again. Next Monday might be the end of lockdown here, and it will be lovely to be able to escape a bit (and finally buy some things that aren't essential, but would be very handy, like a metal bin of some kind to keep bird food in outside rather than in the way inside, and a clothes line in anticipation of the nicer weather, and curtain rods for my office shed so that I'm not blinded by the sun through my window when it's not grey like today, and... you know. Stuff. *g*) Then the weekend after that is the long Easter weekend, which will be nice even if I don't go anywhere.

And yet I am still sitting here today at my desk with hours of very dull reading ahead of me and glumping about it... *headdesk* - honestly, some days I just need to get over myself, right?! Let's have some pics of pretty things, and then you can tell me how you're doing!

Look - the sun's coming back! Someone also put up a nesting box in this old barn, and I almost always see the big ghosty-white barn owl flying around the field if I walk that way around sunset. And there have been some lovely sunsets - later and later in the evening.


There is blossom about!


And flowers springing up.


And lads always on the verge of stories in the background...

So cool that you are able to see a barn owl!
And blossoms, spring ans Easter!

And you lucky guys, end of lockdown! Ours just got extended again.

Hope you get to write something!
My news are up on threema. 😸😸

Oh, I've never seen a barn owl! (apart from in photos, of course). How wonderful! We do hear an owl or two around here sometimes, but I've no idea what kind they might be. When Dog was still around, the owls did cause some absolutely heart-stopping EVERYBODY WAKE UP IT'S 4am AND THERE ARE OWLS barking, never to be forgotten.

I think the imminent easing of lockdown (whether it turns out to be premature or not) is going to feel weird, but I will admit to looking forward to a haircut because it's at the constantly-in-your-eyes stage (>.<)

Hope the dull reading at least goes lightly and smoothly by :-s

Fabulous, beautiful photos! Especially the night time ones and that red and white flower... never seen it before.

Ooh, flowers! We have no flowers here yet, of course. Although we also have no snow. It has been unusually warm. It looks like I might have to just turn the snow blower on and run it till it runs out of gas before storing it until next winter. (Of course, having said that, there will likely be a 12-inch snow storm in April now!) And lovely barn owl! I think this new place is working out quite well, isn't it?

I am in my usual early spring-I don't-want-to-do-anything-at-work funk, but this time there's more of a problem because we've temporarily gone from single semesters to "modules" of about 7 1/2 weeks each. So, we're just staring module 4 and I have classes to teach. Ack. Must get motivated. (Even worse, we'll be having a module 5, May-early July, which will be totally weird. We have no summer classes and so that's the time for projects. Huh.)

Lovely lads to brighten any day, don't they?

Ahhhh, lovely flower pictures!
