Dull.

The weather report today was a single word - dull, and it was - with a thick mist everywhere and nothing dramatic. My first job in the morning is to feed the hens. No sooner do I put down some corn than the robin flies in waiting to gather up his courage to help himself. Today he was joined by a pair of chaffinches. If I'm not rushing to work I like to savour the morning sounds and wander around the garden for a while. There is a thrush which alternates between the 2 tallest trees and warbles all day long from his vantage point. The robin keeps me company with his clear song and today a wood pigeon was cooing away in the woods.
While I was working in the garden I saw that the aubretia I planted last year had opened the first of its flowers. Another warm day or two and it will be covered with flowers.
I taught in the afternoon, phonics followed by Mothers' Day cards and then after play I swapped classes with another teacher so that I could have a final dance rehearsal with the Year 2 children.
