Zazzles is collarless again this time for keeps. I spotted him this morning down in the blackcurrant bushes thrashing around. Upon investigation I noticed he had somehow hooked his collar around a branch and was struggling to pull it off. I managed to release him and removed the collar. The easy release is not as easy as the manufacturers make out. As I told Ellen a little while ago,if a cat doesn't want it a cat won't have it.
A little more colour in the garden the tiny Scarlet Pimpernels have started to show,four clumps of them with little flowers and a lot more buds to come,a carpet of red will soon adorn the border hopefully.


You may remember a bramble invaded the mint container riddling it with roots. I tipped it out and left in to break down before digging the old roots out. I thought it was a job for this morning and there I found growing out amongst the dead bramble roots are tiny mint shoots,a very resilient plant is mint.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
