There were more patches of blue in the sky while I was down at the zoo but now the wind has begun to blow and it's raining lightly.
As said I went to the zoo this morning and spent over three hours pulling grass out of the large play area. Only one more section to go and then I can go back to the beginning and remove the new grass that has appeared. It was very quiet at the zoo with just a few volunteers working about the place. The wolf dogs were quiet today and I worked to the sound of the turkey making soft turkey noises. The top netting has been taken off their run, I suppose the avian flu restrictions have eased, and Mr. P. the peacock kept jumping in to steal their food. He usually hangs around the visitors as he prefers human food such as crisps, cake and sandwiches.
When I came home I put the last Bara Brith in the oven. My stash of baking ingredients; blocks of butter, pounds of chocolate, nuts, extra flour etc. has diminished and instead my cupboards are full of boxes of biscuits, truffles and cake. I brought in the sloe and blackberry gin from the garage and decanted it into smaller bottles. It seemed a shame to put the gin soaked berries into the food waste. Instead I threw them over the cliff for the birds. There should be some very happy seagulls tomorrow.
