3BT – we like stripes, starting again, fake thrills

1. The colourful fat stripes of his socks and my cardigan on the white airer.

2. I tidied the greenhouse on Thursday, moved the winter ground cover from the chicken run on Friday and tidied the space between the enclosed run & the rest of the garden today. Small changes but they make the garden feel more manageable again.

3. The strange glee derived from rushing around a virtual village, searching for pretend Easter, um, I mean “Noblegarden” eggs with complete strangers. The hunt is as ferocious and good natured as if they were real chocolate eggs in a garden. I’m more than happy to wait around for people to give me temporary bunny ears.

3BT – odd one out, bargain, that time of the evening

After a break of 18 months or so, I’m going to try Three Beautiful Things-ing again – I still read Clare’s wonderful updates everyday but fell out of the habit of doing them myself. I didn’t stop for any particular reason last time, just got out of the habit then The Really Good Life took over that bit of my brain for a while, but I do like the 3BT format, so here goes :)

1. The lone starling walking amongst the pigeons in the market square.

2. The huge stash of good quality, nearly-new John-sized jeans in the charity shop – and on buy-one-get-one-free day too.

3. It’s drink time for everyone: while the kettle boils for our tea, I refill the water bowl for the waiting dog and the cats curl around each other lapping up their saucer of milk.
