VTam, I'm so sorry to hear about what's happening at your work.

Cheery bit, sort of. The bluetits have discovered my garden, but not to be interested in the food, oh no. The mirrors! Once i realised that one poor little cock (I assume male) was frantically spending all his time displaying to it, and going round the back (very interesting sign of some intelligence?) I've had to nip out in the rain and cover them with cardboard. And the soil is sodden, with water running down the surface. No problem setting up a water feature eventually.

I found a wall greenhouse at Aldi,very reasonable, so have got a bit ahead of myself and bought it. And some seeds - sweet pea, sunflower, lettuce and cornflower.

I lost my temporary supply work because of budgets - classes taken by unqualified teaching assistants and newly qualified now. Still a little one to one tuition, but only two of those left.
