This little “greengrocer “ cicada was at my table for breakfast this morning. What a joy, and what a little beauty.

Detail of inlaid eye belonging to the "Seated Scribe", 2600-2350 BC. Crafted from red-veined white magnesite and rock crystal. The polished crystal was covered in the back with a material used to create the color of the iris.

I'm currently writing about badgers

in my native Ayrshire and adopted Cumbrian dialects, 'broc' is badger

badger was always held in high esteem, 'brocan' was a Pictish name for 'wise man'; they protect against witchcraft, and represent family harmony

Spent today helping a friend build a garden. Learned a lot about using weed mat and layers of cardboard to hold back kikuyu grass which, if you lie down out there to rest, will eat you alive leaving no trace.

Came home with basil and cucumber seedlings and new ideas for gardens

The Towridgee Sheep Resort and Spa now has an electric fence to stop the foster brats straying into the neighbour’s place.. after a bit of head banging from the Lead Escape Artist, it seems we have acceptance. And I’ve learned how to make an electric fence. Thanks to friend Bob Riedy ❤️
