Concert, bind weed?, Aberdeen and Rosa
We went to a concert at Tain Academy this evening. Fantastic music. Some folks pay a fortune for this sort of entertainment. We are very lucky to have it just down the road. What a brilliant evening.
I spent some part of this afternoon wading in a large garden pond raking out debris, leaves and bind weed (I don't know if it was bind weed, to be honest, but it was very green, floating and invasive). Most satisfying. Variety is the spice of life. I spotted a couple of jelly fish which was a bit odd, I thought, as jelly fish normally inhabit salt water. After some reflection, however, I realized that in fact it was frog spawn! I left it alone, can't go removing frog spawn from a natural habitat, can you?
Tomorrow we go to Aberdeen (well, some of us) and I look forward to fish and chips from the fish and chip shop in Forres tomorrow evening on our way down. I shall miss the football match in Inverness on saturday afternoon, of course, but some things are more important than football.
I came across an interesting blog this evening (link on the right hand side headed "a blog from abroad") and thought I might email the author and say how interesting I found it, only I couldn't find an email address. So if you read this, Rosa (if that's your real name), an interesting and unusual blog, that's what I thought, not just gardening but a good ramble about all sorts of things that demand rambling on about. Excellent.
