Checking

Went up to the allotment with all manner of good intentions but had only just managed to feed the blighters and plant a token four Jerusalem artichokes for next year, when the noisy neighbours arrived. Grass was a bit too damp for me to make an even louder noise strimming, so I left. No chance of a charming blue tit or robin blip as the little birds all went and hid too.

Still, was very pleased to see the swans checking out their nest by the swing bridge.

Later spent a good hour filling in a ghastly form in order to book a Fringe appearance - if all is in order then I just have to cough up a large sum of money. So it's all fine....
