checked in on the garden this morning - the radishes and runner beans are starting to sprout! and most of the tomato seedlings still seem OK, but all but one of the zinnias have collapsed. and something has eaten most of the leaves on the courgettes, so i need to stop on the way home and get some netting, i guess. wish i could see whatever it is that the cats glare at so intently at night, that's probably what is eating things. (i guess i should explain that i have a sliding door that looks out on the patio; the cats stare out of that - occasionally going rigid with interest, and sometimes even growling - but when i go to look, i can never see what they are all het up about.)

in other news - i got this kit in the mail monday (on information from a friend, found it on ebay at about half the price at this site - this may be deadly to me, if i start realizing how many neat knitting things i can get on ebay) - anyway, i've already started it, despite having another sweater and some socks i really need to finish - just too eager to see how it is done! and the yarn is really pretty - tweedier than you can see from the photos on the site. (yeah, yeah....gotta take pics)
