Sigh

I have a hell of a lot of work I really need to get done. Also, I have to stay in the house anyway, to guard the cleaners when they come from excursions of cat.

Turns out that today is one of those days where actually I just want to go out into the garden and stay there, planting and weeding and plotting and such, or just sitting on a bench to read O'Brian.

In actual news, though, there is a teeny tiny plant a couple of feet away from my little lemon tree, and I don't know what it actually is but it does look awfully like a teeny tiny lemon tree. Is that even possible, that it might be a volunteer? That I might have a teeny tiny spreading orchard here? (Even if so I'll need to move it eventually, it's too damn close in the long term - but we are not in the long term here, not by a long chalk. For now I shall leave it strictly alone, and see what it does. What it turns into.)

Also, it is borne in upon me that it's going to be years - maybe years'n'years - before the teeny tiny bay tree that I bought grows big enough to give up even a single leaf to my kitchen. I should probably buy another, more mature example.
