on duty

Ziggy sitting near the back gate where he can see what's going on outside and keep watch on the garden at the same time. He's annoyed because we've got a couple of big wood pigeons that keep coming down to the bird table, and he's seen a tiny wood mouse scampering around too.

Working in the garden today and cleared a large area of brambles and nettles. Took me a while to get the burdock seedheads out of my hair - I thought I'd have to cut a chunk off but they came out with gentle brushing.
