☝️I am currently still in stare out the window mode my language center continues to be mostly offline. But when I get tired of trees and ravens I will shift my eyes indoors to something natural and lyrical.

I pretty much judge all movies based on the quality of their sky - which Ghibli movies do you think have the best sky?

Garden project from a couple of years ago, which is getting a bit of a revamp. I had a few bits of large, squarish stone knocking about - and no clients' gardens to immediately use them in - so dropped a sunken seating area into my own garden.

The obvious firepit is an old lorry wheel that got washed up on the beach, and rolled/dragged half a mile back to the car. We have so many firepit devices, though, that I turned it into a planter for orange/red coloured flowers (none of the photos of which survived a PC failure).

The chickens have largely turned it into a fort, so I'm planning a surprise diversion (mainly sweetcorn at the other end of the garden) to reclaim it. This may be an ongoing battle of wills.

A picture looking down into a trapezoid-shaped sunken area, about 18 inches deep and lined with stone walls. The tops of the walls are large flat stones, for sitting on. In one corner (far right), a big clump of Hart's tongue ferns is growing out of the wall, and in the near left corner an old lorry wheel has been set on its side and filled with soil. The base of the area is filled with brown pea gravel.
A picture of the same area, but taken from another side. Essentially, the photo is of the same things.

I am quite proud of actually cooking supper for myself. I've had 2 lb of frozen shrimp for a while. And all my fresh garlic has sprouted. So I used the last ounces of olive oil I'll be able to afford for a long while, all my garlic minced, a pound of shrimp and some pepper and lemon juice

Over a bowl of left over Jasmine rice it was really a feast!

It’s the weekend, so more odd contraptions.

A rack for seedling pots that I made for my wife. It’s designed to be propped vertically in the greenhouse, to make the most of space - but cobbled together so that whatever angle it’s at, the pots stay upright. Bit like the seats on a Ferris wheel.

The whole thing is on a pair of wheels, so that at hardening-off time (we’re still supposed to do that, right?), it can be trundled out and propped against a sunny wall, without everything falling out.

A contraption I made to hold small (9cm) pots for seedlings. It’s a rectangular frame with, set within it, a number of elongated basket arrangements each holding five pots. Further description in following photos. The rack is propped up vertically in the greenhouse, against the wall of the attached shed. A duck egg blue door, into the shed part, is to the left.
The rack described in the previous photo. In this picture, the rack is leant at a 45 degree angle against the blue door. Each basket arrangement remains in an upright position, as they are held by a pin at each end to the frame, which act as an axle. In this way, whatever angle the rack is propped at, the pots remain upright.
The same rack as previously, laid flat on the ground.
