Starting over again!
Wow, what a year 2021 has been thus far. Covid Lockdown part two, my vaccination No. 2, coming to terms with post-stroke effects, easing of lockdown measures in (allegedly) 17 days time! Thank goodness for the mass vaccination programme, at the moment major % of the adult population have had both vaccination jabs. We’re told… Continue reading Starting over again!
Harfin’s Update 28 Feb. 2021
Here in London, the sun is out, and though the temperature is in single digits, seeing the sun and sighting the early spring flowers blooming their socks off, I am feeling happier and more optimistic than I have felt for ages. I still have a couple of stroke recovery steps to complete, but I am… Continue reading Harfin’s Update 28 Feb. 2021

My area of London… Continue reading Update on current health status

Sunflowers or Triffids?
On the third attempt to get sunflowers to grow in my rear garden (without being dinner for visiting creepy-crawlies) the ones at the front of the house have finally shot-up. And up! And up! They’re currently about 3 metres high and are edging nearer and nearer to the 1st floor windows!
Sputnic annoys wild birds?
In an effort to keep Rock Doves/Wood Pigeons and all their assorted cousins from stealing from our small and threatened wild birds, and to divert them from their bullying tactics in sitting on top of the small birds feeder and intimidating the small birds, I invested in a new seed container. I guess it does… Continue reading Sputnic annoys wild birds?
New £-generator
After the demise of my trusty exercise bike a few days ago, I decided to forget about getting a replacement bike and have gone instead for a treadmill! It took a few days for it to arrive, plus another day for me to translate the instructions (no doubt badly generated via an online translation service)… Continue reading New £-generator
