The DPD elves left the GEEKOM package in the garage sometime between 8:15 and 9am.

Someone needs to do a paper on the impact of Apple on packaging.

We now have a new drive.

And the second.
Plums to come.

The first picking of apples and pears from the two trees in the back garden.

Along with many other obsolete gadgets we have a Polaroid mini DVD and Picture display

The newly reconfigured server room in the shed. Things still need putting in boxes.

Another result of the 40+ year clear out is the emergence of a few more of the corporate award things, training stuff and mementoes that do with most of the rest on the top of one of the bookcases in the shed.

In clearing over 40 years of accumulated papers, deduct hardware, software, products I've helped make and magazines this little nugget of the past came out of the dust.

The Last One

Before 'AI'.

Lavender, bees and verbena in the gravel garden at the back of the house.

The first real cutting of the runner beans, this is only from two sides of the bed.

The harvest of plums from our single tree. The green ones were dropping, this is about 3-4 weeks before expected.

I noticed this yesterday on the steps going down to the shed. With the amount of large seeds clumped in a dark medium it's done fruit eating animal; perhaps a fox, not a badger as they tend to use scrapes and latrines, marginally a Pine Martin but I've never […]

The number of people who were there that actually remember this might be quite small.

One of the young starlings, now quite independent.

The harvest from the third honeyberry bush. It's been enough to provide two breakfasts as fruit with porridge. (Not me, J).

On Saturday we spent a deal of time cleaning up the shed and whist it's not finished it's a lot closer to the way it looked some 15 years ago when I started using it.

Tulip Shirley a lipstick kissed white tulip with pink staining on the edge of the petals. One of two sharing with the tub of clematis.

On the way to Carluccio's in Stratford before the theatre we saw a modded VW in rich late 50's colours, red and cream.

Along with everything else it had hydraulic suspension which the owner pumped up and down.

I had the registration plate removed by 'AI'.

This year's chillies. Aji Delight, Pardon Peppers, Dorset Naga, Biquihno Yellow and Sweet Pumpkin.

Some ready to be pricked out this weekend.

I noticed a flurry of stuff on Snowdrops in various places, so I went and shot those that came up just before Christmas.

That they look like bouquets around the grave of the two trees is just another reason.
