Hazy.

There wasn't much of a view this morning as the sea mist kept everything hazy and damp.

That didn't stop this bumble bee investigating the daffodils.

 

It visited most of the cheery yellow blooms getting liberally covered in pollen. Then the tightly packed petals of the double daffodil proved too much of a challenge and eventually it gave up without finding any nectar.

Yesterday's fine weather had got me thinking about cycling to the zoo but once again I took the easy option and drove using the mention of possible showers as my excuse.

I didn't spend too long at the zoo as Peter needed the car later. In the two hours I was there I planted up more mint to bulk up a narrow border of mint that I've been trying to establish, did some weeding and sorted out the worst of the damage done by the mole. There were more people around this week as we get closer to the Easter holidays.

At home I completed Peter's Viking tunic with very basic hand sewing of the hem and using a shoe lace instead of the buttons on the placket neck. Next I'll look at images of Viking chest armour. Much as I would love to replicate some of the complex designs as it's only for the carnival it needs to be simple but with impact.

Off in a minute to Pilates.
