Bob!

Put in a massive shift at the allotment - strimming, compost-wrangling, a bit of digging. Overdid it in terms of my heel, but at least I can now get a bus directly home.

I picked a load of mushrooms and inspected them minutely - they seemed the same as last year's crop in every way, apart from a slightly suspect yellow (not orange!) staining that appeared on some of them. Decided to leave them on the path to see if the fox fancies them.

It was so very nice to see Bob again, taking advantage of a brief sparrow lull. Also spent 5 min watching a group of coal tits who were chatting and
squabbling in a neighbour's apple tree.
