Good morning tooters. It was a pretty fresh 7c when I woke a little after 6am. The sky was just starting to lighten, a lovely quiet time of day. It’s about 9-10c right now & will be heading up to around 23c, so very pleasant.
I’ve had my brekky eggs 🥚 🥚, just finished my coffee ☕️ & I’ve also fed my sourdough starter as I want to make some bread. I will be having a shower soon & I plan to head out for a walk around the river, I might need a jacket out there for a little while. I didn’t get my planned time in the garden yesterday afternoon, after my walk with my daughter & family I just puttered around inside. So I hope to do something outside today. Moving my little inground compost bin is on the agenda as well.
Hope everyone enjoys their #Tuesday, stay safe out there 🌻.

No.3 in my series on the life cycle of the common frog:

Hundreds, if not thousands, of tadpoles wriggled about in the sunlit water earlier today.
Of course, only a tiny proportion will make it to froghood. They are predated by birds, newts, dragonfly larvae, grass snakes, frogs (!) and...... each other.
The pond is only 1.5 metres long and surrounded by tall trees and houses, but one year a pair of passing mallards spotted it and dropped in for a feed.

I love this entirely wild patch at the front of the garden. Everything, apart from the shrubs, is self-sown (or was already here when we bought the house). I do not do anything apart from cutting it down once a year in late autumn. At the moment, the #bluebells are flowering.
Unlike the rest of the garden it is visible from the road. I am certain that some uninspired people think it is an uncared-for weed patch.

Autumn in Sydney is truly amazing!
The vibrant shades of orange, red & yellow have not yet set in but when the leaves change they create a stunning backdrop against the clear blue sky. The fact that it is 25°C while we’ve switched to winter time is a unique combination & adds to the comfort.
