Today, the stag party of guys dressed as Where's Wally did a mass pitch invasion. Scotland came forth.
Love it!
Just got some flower seeds to plant a little windowsill garden. How is Venus doing, did she survive the winter?

She did... she knows it's spring... even if spring doesn't.
Seen GoT? A lot of nice moments. I laughed at a couple of bits I shouldn't have. *ahem*
Ahhh good for Venus how do you get flies for her in winter? Is there other stuff she can eat?
About to watch G.O.T. - just saw Mad Men - so need a few mins to gather my thoughts.
Good episode... heh heh someone has a sore head
Yes, that was a bit I laughed at... Rast and Ghost too.
My love of Edd, Grenn, Pod and Brienne grows weekly. Edd is my favourite in the book, he's hilarious.
She hibernates through winter. Smaller, fewer traps. We caught her a bluebottle recently, she's happy.
Glad Venus is doing well. Hope she enjoyed her "snack".
In other plant news... first flower seedling sprouted... a marigold. Also planted an an apple pip for a laugh. Its sprouted - going to see if I can make a little bonsai out of it.
Ohh! Good luck with the mini apple tree. You wouldn't get mini apples from it would you?

Apparently sometimes you can, if you grow it in a biggish pot. They're hard to grow inside though - they like to be outside in the blustery weather apparently.
Currently I have mint, chives [both half dead but reviving] an apple seedling and a marigold seedling. Got lots lots more seeds to sow tonight. Will be partly using the compost I made last year, so here's hoping.
Cool. Well, fingers crossed for apples then. Good going, lovely green house you shall have. Do you use the herbs?
Snipped up mint leaves with balsamic vinegar are lovely on lamb chops. And chives are nice in mayo or just thrown into any dish. They're the easiest to grow - the other herbs didn't do well.
Thinking of getting anything yourself - to keep Venus company?
Umm... right now she has developed a weed. *ahem* I should probably pull it out...
A mint recipe for you. mayo+natural yoghurt, cucumber and mint, sort of like tzatziki. We used to make it in work to go with the chili tacos. Could justr have it with pita bread dipped in, had that in Greece. Was yum.
Oooh thanks, that sounds yummy, must make that. Would like to try more Greek food. Had Feta cheese last year mmmm.
You've been to Greece - lucky you - Whereabouts?
I went to Argassi on Zakynthos (or Zante, if you'd rather). Not far from Athens (could see the lights across the sea at night). It not a horrible clubby area with the 18-30s (oh my gods... never get stuck on a plane with them!), A few bars and cafes... nice place.
Feta is nice... you tended to get that in most things over there.
Sounds a nice place I always wanted to see Greece [not the mad clubby places obv]. Is Greek food nice?
Oh no were said 18-30 crowd on your plane?
They were! Thankfully they were off too Kalamaki... and a short-ish flight *phew*
To be honest, I didn't eat much of it. *ahem* Burgers... macaroni... *ahem*
Well... it was your hols.
Indeed it was. *nods* There were turtles and everything.
Turtles? How heavenly
Loggerhead. *nods*
Must have been lovely. Were you close to them? Turtles are beautiful creatures.
The only time I ever considered getting a tattoo was one of a turtle on my ankle.
