Weather, Wildlife, Woods & Wonts

I’ve been taking advantage of the amazing weather we’ve had here (it’s not going to last) and getting outdoors as much as possible. Have combined this activity with taking photos on my new iPhone. I woke up to find this cock pheasant in my garden earlier in the week.

There is an abundance of roe deer near my house at the moment. I’m running into them on a daily basis.

Even a cynical creature such as myself is not immune to the joys of spring.

Anyone else a fan of Cobra? It was designed specifically to be drunk with curry, as it is non-gassy. I like it – be it with curry, or on its own.

Here’s some fragmented salmon fillets and asparagus I prepared earlier.

It is well documented that peoples’ habits have changed during Lockdown. I thought I’d do a lot more reading, but for some reason of late I’ve been struggling with Fiction and only interested in reading the news and sports-related articles. However, Cormac McCarthy has steered me back onto the straight and narrow. This is my current read.

Happy Easter.

The Great Outdoors

It’s been a very warm winter here in the UK. Maybe Greta Thunberg is on to something with this global warming thing. Yesterday, snow drops appeared in my garden. These augurs of spring should not be emerging for quite some time yet.

And there was a mosquito in my house last night. I squashed it before I thought of taking a photo. And as I didn’t fancy having a squashed mosquito on my blog, you’ll have to take my word for it.

Despite the warm weather, it’s been cool enough in the evening to enjoy a fire. And there’ll be more what with colder weather on the way.

Last weekend I went up to the Fens in East Anglia. Even with the advent of Netflix and iTunes, nothing compares to the great outdoors. Below are swans in flight during the late afternoon.

A full moon followed.

Below is a Japanese-themed tea I enjoyed yesterday.

My first book of the year was The Rapture. It is about a cult. Not my typical reading fare, but I got it for Christmas. I would not hesitate in recommending this intriguing mix of fiction and non-fiction.

2020 has to date found me procrastinating, faffing around and not getting a great deal done. However, I have a new blurb and front cover on the way for Necropolis (#1 Necropolis Trilogy). I look forward to sharing them with you next Friday. Have a good weekend.
