Clematis

I was wondering what to blip today when I realised the buds on this Clematis just by the porch had started to open.
A rather unsatisfactory day, very bitty and lots of interuptions to what I was trying to do and repeated heavy showers.
However, there were plenty of positives.
I got the ironing done
I got out most of the stuff needed for a couple of nights camping
I offered the job to the lady we interviewed yesterday and she accepted
I think I've sorted the knitting fankle (I did the pattern once before and also had a problem, I'll see if I'm okay now - but not today)
I went for a run with the C25K group who all turned out, despite the weather, and managed today's challenge.
I had my tea cooked for me.
I'll gloss over the negatives!
