The First of……2023

[Plot70]

To get photos the right way get them off that wretched phone and open them in an editor on a real computer and rotate them and save.
They just roll like a dice on a phone.

Nice piccie Geoff.
I forgot to say that we’ve heard the frogs near our local stream/ river over the past week too. Funny how they croak for a while then suddenly stop in unison!

(My piccies from my phone sometimes turn like that…not always though. )

Good Photo Geoff we used to have frogs tiny things jumping everywhere .

Hi All,
Very happy with a book purchase (Royal Air Force Historical Society - TSR2 with hindsight ) usually UK used price between £70-£90, I picked one up off Ebay for $15 from the US Inc postage only £35 a bargain if the condition matches the pictures then definitely a bargain.

The Granddaughters birthday last Tuesday seeing her face opening the presents, being more interested in chewing the paper than what it held that was until Ivy opened her little replica hoover.....

Looking forward to tomorrow as the Granddaughter and Daughter are here for lunch but also because Coventry City are in the Championship/Premier league play off's for promotion finally!!! Fingers crossed / Touch wood we'll be playing in the premier but we desperately need a ground sorting out as the current state of affairs make that next step very hard and I can't imagine what the team must feel like playing at a ground that may or may not be their home ground.

As far as the pictures go I downloaded them from my PC after the wife had sent them from her phone and I had saved into my picture file, the trouble is it's very frustrating when it happens....

Geoff.

The pea plants started flowering today. Hopefully it won't be too long until they started producing pods.

I pulled up my first second early potatoes (Charlotte) last week. It has been a decent haul so far considering the raised bed was completely submerged under water in March.

The first of my sunflowers opening!

And…my first baby tomato!
