Blindsided today by my iPhone which suddenly seemed to have lost an hour. Eventually the penny dropped; it was the other clocks that needed to “spring forward” so I dutifully adjusted the clocks in the cars, the cottage, and the homestead.

Rain forecast for the afternoon and intermittently over the next couple of days so we went down to the stop bank and narrowly missed the first main shower of the day.

I haven’t seen any small water snails in the fish pond / bath behind the cottage pump shed for a week or more but today I saw Mildred and two of her sisters. The water weed I brought back from the stream running through the Hastings Show Grounds seems to have died – well there’s hardly a green leaf left. I do wonder whether it just doesn’t like the bath or whether the geese appreciate it as a snack. I did wonder until today whether they were eating my water snails as well.

Checked all sheep; the broken-legged lamb #110R is still hobbling round on three legs and the splint is still securing the broken back left leg so perhaps it’ll heal, I hope so.

MailChimp didn’t include the previous Saturday’s daily journal entry in the digest that went out early this Saturday morning but nothing earth-shattering was lost.
