2026
I like to have a clock on the wall in each room of the house, even though I have an Apple Watch on and carry a phone around in my pocket. Anyone else like me?
I have sown basil, lemongrass, and coriander seeds in trays on the kitchen windowsill. I’ve also planted some marrow seeds into pots and put them in a warm place to germinate. Finally, I have sown some Welsh onion seeds in a large pot and again put it somewhere warm indoors to germinate.

I’m going out into the garden to check what seeds I have left over from last year, get some herb seeds into trays, and place them on the kitchen windowsill. I’m going to put the seed potatoes in over the next few days.

Gardening?
Did I do any? Well, I took the garden waste brown bin back into the garden. I moved the bags of compost from the front yard to the back yard. I didn’t do anything else. I’m a wimp and it’s too cold. I’ll get out there at the end of next week, and get the potatoes planted though.
Another Blog
I linked another blog to micro.blog today. It’s a self-hosted domain rather than one, like this, that I purchased through Micro.Blog itself. I had a little jiggery-pokers getting the DNS to propagate and play nicely, but once it settled down it was fine. You can find it at ianbmay.com. I’ll be a bit more political over there, but not a ranting nutcase (I hope). Here, I like to be laid back as much as possible. I’ve linked the other blog to Bluesky, whereas this one links to Mastadon.
Sun
It a sunny Saturday morning here. Rather chilly out though, currently only 42 degrees! I don’t think I’m the milkman’s best friend this morning, as I ordered 4 bags of compost, so I can get on with some gardening jobs. After all, we’re almost in April!

Having dinner with my wife and her two friends. They’ve all gone to the bog. Aah yes, two minutes of peace and quiet!
