Most flying insects seem to cope well with the net curtains, but the crane flies, with their spindly legs, seem to get tangled in anything, the net curtains provide quite a challenge.<br />
<br />
I did wonder if this crane fly was also waiting for a really big spider to come and pay a visit too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43098315158094375.post-18369799165164251402016-10-18T22:15:00.000+01:002016-10-18T22:15:03.244+01:00Strong Veins<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

This morning, I captured some rather fun clouds, and later found some fine seed heads.<br />

Although there are now lots of figs on the fig trees, the birds seem to think that the fruit all belong to them.<br />
<br />
They like to leave their mark by trying each and every ripe fig by taking a few pecks, but then deciding they prefer strawberries after all!<br />

A quick trim and a wash, and the figs taste the same to me though.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43098315158094375.post-23344912725392383142016-10-18T21:55:00.000+01:002016-10-18T21:55:03.183+01:00Fresh Nuts<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

The hazel tree at the bottom of the garden is starting to bear its fruit. I thought we may not get much, but the nuts must have been hiding in the leaves.<br />
<br />
The mix of rain and shine over the summer looks to have swelled the kernels rather well.<br />

<br />
On a visit to the loft this morning, I uncovered a box containing my old Sinclair ZX Spectrum.<br />
<br />
Given Alex is of a similar age to when I had the Spectrum, I thought it would be fun to experience a 'blast from the past'. <br />
<br />
Luckily the TV in the dining room still had a UHF input and could tune into the Spectrum output.<br />
<br />
The belt in the tape player however was showing its age of about 30 years or so, but a more 'modern' tape player and an amplifier got something loading.<br />
<br />
Some of the simpler smaller games loaded up and ran, but nothing of the more 'sophisticated' programmes ran properly unfortunately.<br />
<br />
After a few hours of listening to the screech of the files loading, I investigated a bit deeper into why very little was working still.<br />
<br />
Sadly it looks as if some of the memory chips in the higher banks of RAM may have not stood the test of time :(<br />
<br />
We did manage to get a few of the splash-screen pictures from the games to load though, which at least amused us both!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43098315158094375.post-43937929773386902912016-10-18T21:26:00.002+01:002016-10-18T21:26:45.483+01:00An evening of sweat and Punk<br />

When the alarm goes off in the morning, the sun is only just over the rooftops these days; the shortening days are getting more noticeable. <br />
<br />
The colours of the sunrise are changing too; there have been lots of golden skies in the mornings recently.<br />

One of the Elder trees at the bottom of the garden is not just looking 'seasonal', it is looking almost dead.<br />
<br />
I had an investigate today and discovered that when the chicken pen was around it, the chickens seemed to have pecked at the lower parts of the bark; the water has got in over the summer and the bark has now rotted off, leaving the tree 'ringed'.<br />
<br />
I did find some bark still on the tree, but it is dead and the woodlice have made it their home.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43098315158094375.post-21474637717164522922016-10-18T20:58:00.000+01:002016-10-18T20:58:46.747+01:00More Hints of Autumn<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

We decided earlier in the year that after repeated failures of veg in the veg plot, we would try growing more fruit instead.<br />
<br />
Eating significant quantities of fruit is a past time we rather enjoy, so we decided to add some raspberry canes to the mix.<br />
<br />
The looked as if they were struggling against the weeds, but despite being rather short in stature, look as if they will turn out a few handfuls of fruit this year.<br />

We had a wander through the water park today and down by one of the streams, there was a bit of body armour that had been discarded.<br />
<br />
I am sure the crayfish that lost it may not be in a good way however.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43098315158094375.post-8314349813898133372016-10-16T22:12:00.000+01:002016-10-16T22:12:09.251+01:00Dusty Scoops and Ice Cream<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

The warm weather has brought about a desire for ice cream. As Katie and I have issues with sugar, 'standard' ice cream is out-of-bounds.<br />
<br />
I have finally settled on a recipe that is ultra-low sugar that does not quite have a consistency of post-crete.<br />
<br />
We have eaten quite a lot of ice cream in order to perfect the recipe though :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-43098315158094375.post-62272651617383964602016-10-16T22:01:00.002+01:002016-10-16T22:01:59.260+01:00Boneless Bucket<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

The chickens had a day out in the garden today. They seemed rather fascinated with the contents of the bucket.<br />
<br />
It was not another chicken in there; it was manky fallen apples.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
