Pond work

Easter Monday. No April fools day surprises here. We were up fairly late, I got up cleaned the kitchen, called Mum and pootled about answering emails and so on. We were listening off and on to the Classic FM top 300 classical tunes. Mum was too, and said the music was getting worse the more popular it was.

The rain abated in the afternoon, and Lorraine and I went outside to do more pond work. More digging, laying the underlay and then the waterproof sheet, and partially filling it with water. 

Annoying snails have been at Lorraine's cucumber seedlings in the glasshouse. 

A pleasantly sluggish evening. We watched Independence Day, for fun. Spoke to Toby lad, before he mooched off to a cafe to do his marking.

Below... Partially filling the pond. Our next step is assembling the rocks and so on around the edge, and cutting the excess sheet off. Soon it will be teeming with wildebeest, crocodiles etc.  Also some plum blossom.
