Yesterday I was pumping water from the well to puddle in the new plants.
The top chamber had to be cleared of moss as the first time it was used a few weeks ago, on the downstroke, a blue tit appeared through the top aperture, looking rather surprised as he/she was building a nest up until that moment.
I'm not sure who was more surprised.
Today, on a quick tour of the factory, a robin flew out of an old lamp in the plating shop.
He settled long enough to warn me off and then flew away up the chimney of the furnace.
He was back later.
There are lots of nests in he garden hedges, swallows in the stable and a wren in the corner by the conservatory, probably in the manger that's awaiting planting.
I've spent today gardening, after posting the e bay items that sold over the weekend - bumper sales due to people having time on their hands and fewer shops open, I guess.
Money in the holiday fund!
Time for an omelette and salad - plenty of fresh eggs.
