First Thing After Brushing My Teeth,

and having a shave,


I drank a litre of soda water, whilst in the kitchen the fox called by,

 so a snack for him of a handful of peanuts, normally they do not call round until the afternoon/evening, but there he was, one of the three with the white on his tail,

 the flower spike on one of the orchids was continuing to grow, it is now 29" long,

 and part way up it,

 a second and third spike have sprouted,

 also the flower spike on one of Diana's succulents has doubled in size,

and almost looks like opening,

 the same with the smaller one,

 the buds almost open, during the day we watched a couple of quiz shows, and a documentary about the lost world of Venezuela

after our evening meal and three games of cribbage, I lost 2 - 1, we went outside at 8.00 in the evening to clap and bang away, as most of the neighbours did to show support for the workers in the NHS,

going back inside our film for the evening was The House with a Clock in Its Walls, rated as a family, comedy PG film, it is more than a bit scary in places, but so watchable, the sets just like the abandoned rooms of a possessed house should be, highly enjoyable, we rounded off the evening with one from New Tricks, next for us we were off to bed.
