some good things make a post

1. Saw a red-legged partridge??? Had never consciously seen one before??? Went That's A Weird Hard Shoulder Bird?????
2. A worked out how to fit my bike into the car. (This means I did not get to swing by University Cycles on my way to my parents' and spuriously buy a second whole entire bike, but hey.)
3. A also brought me tribute from Borough Market, of pastel de nata and Interesting Olives.
4. BATS. Went on a walk! Saw bats! Hurrah finding bats in places I didn't know there were bats!
5. I am enjoying all the ridiculous tulips SO MUCH. Probably tomorrow while it is light I should attempt to get some photos of my current favourites.
6. First of the most recent batch of books arrived! I am really enjoying my current But What If I Got... All The Unindexed National Trust Cookbooks? (I did not get all of them. One of them did not minmax conveniently. If I have not lost interest in the indexing project by the time I've finished the ones I actually want to keep, I might continue down this particular rabbit hole. I'm mildly annoyed that I am become more discerning since the first large order, but on the other hand I am also enjoying gloating over my enormous pile of cookbooks...)
7. ASPARAGUS.
8. New site for Admin: the LRP has been really truly and properly announced! It's the old Cottenham racecourse! I'm enjoying daydreaming about this totally unobtainable house! (For future reference: a 4-bed on the High Street. Pre-installed wisteria and possibly raised beds??? Kitchen.)
9. FIRST SLOW WORM OF THE SEASON. So I suppose I'm not going to bring that particular bed all the way into service just yet after all...
