[ten good things]

[kaberett]

1. The sweetcorn is coming up! I am amused by how much more advanced the stuff I sowed direct into the beds on the 10^th is than the ones I sowed into modules in the greenhouse on the 13th.
   
2. Peas are also coming up! Both the ones I actually managed to sow direct (of which... one looks to be making it to adulthood), and the ones I have starting off in pots at home.
   
3. PAKIDGE. Three ink samples: Sailor Kiwa-Guro, Sailor Souboku and Sailor Seiboku, all of which are permanent/waterproof inks that are also (nominally) safe for fountain pens, chosen on the basis that (i) I really do want waterproof ink, (ii) I glumly suspect that I am a Mostly Black Ink person these days, and yet (iii) in my Heart I am still a Blue Ink person. I am going to try them all out and see which I like best. (First I need to write the test pen dry...)
   
4. PAKIDGE part II: a set of Really Useful BoxesDrawers for better organisation of the misc bags of spice in the pantry, which will hopefully make A much happier and mean that we are collectively less reliant on my weird wireframe-spatial memory for Which Food Is Where In The Pile.
   
5. Yoghurt and banana and honey.
   
6. I am deriving a great deal of enjoyment from experimenting with How I Want To Bullet Journal, and giving myself permission to Make Bad Art. I have worked out a layout for individual days that lets me draw useful small symbols for Things I Want To Do Daily; I have worked out also how I want to start doing sleep tracking (as of next month).
   
7. During today's honking I achieved a couple of beautiful arpeggio-exercises that Just Worked more-or-less effortlessly. I've been managing doing all of [set of exercises] closer to every day than not, recently, and it is definitely paying off and I'm definitely enjoying the results.
   
8. I am delighted that my (late-started) tomatoes are beginning to produce flowers...
   
9. ... and that the parsley I've sown is coming up...
   
10. ... and that I get to bimble gently to the allotment in the evenings with Adam, and poke around a bit, and come home again, and eat strawberries, and watch the bat.
    

Bonus: ready access to painkillers.

Yay for peas. I got the daffodil bulbs in on Monday. A bit late, but hopefully they'll still do their thing. When I planted them, I saw a daffodil-shaped volunteer green shoot already there.
