Sweet spot, strawberries, spring

1. I have to wheel my husband's bicycle all the way to the shop for a repair after he unexpectedly had to leave early this morning and took the car. I find the perfect spot to hold it so that it wheels along beside me obediently, and it's even a comfortable height so that it's almost like I'm just resting my hand there. What I expected to be difficult turns out to be an easy 2 km stroll.

2. On the way home I drop into the markets and buy three punnets of strawberries for later.

3. It's cool-ish today, but early spring is in the air.

Gardening: spring, strawberries, slaters

1. Leaving the chilly house to do some gardening in the warm spring sun. I am feeling well enough to pull some weeds from the lawn while my husband does the much more strenous job of clearing the would-be vegetable bed.

2. One of our new strawberry plants has half a dozen tiny white flowers.

3. The kids' delight as they find a swarm of slaters under a pot that I move. They 'rescue' the little bugs and put them in a bucket to watch, then later release them to a pile of dead leaves.
