Played a tabletop rpg my dnd group has been working on. It would have been better if we were in person, but it’s nice just hearing them. I missed them. And the session was awesome!

This is great! I think I’m at Pooh bear’s level, although I’ve managed to hang on to my pants. I’m someone who generally likes staying clothed even if they don’t have to

Just call me onesie Pooh!!!

That is absolutely amazing! I'm very much at Pooh level this weekend, albeit fully clothed. Case in point, the thing that made me smile today was munching some Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. It's been a rough week, I earnt my ice cream, and it was very nice indeed!

Enjoyed a weekend staying at home in the warm, sunny weather.

Whilst tidying the garage today, I found a box of old seed packets from a few years ago.

I didn't want to throw them away (especially as garden centres are currently on lock-down), so I got some trays and planted them!

Now, let's see if they will germinate!

They include cosmos and bright yellow marigolds (I prefer this colour to the usual orange-yellow) worth a try, no?

I think they will probably grow! Seed packets do have dates on them but they're not always actual expiry dates. I remember once having a pack of seeds that had 1996 as the expiry date. We planted them in around 2005 and they grew beautifully. Plants are a great inspiration in how to survive no matter what.

Not today, but a few days back I finally got to play with my dnd group over the phone. We were playing upwind, a rpg card game (highly recommend 10/10) and were solving a murder mystery. At the start, or GM told us to message him who we thought the murderer was before the investigation began. If someone guessed right, they would get a special ability. And I guessed it, so now I have a new special ability! And right after that my character was thrown in mortal danger...but it was fun! It was so nice to hear them again. We used to play almost once per week, so it was lovely to have that back, if just for a while and over the phone.

Seeds can (in the right conditions) survive for years/decades before being planted. Water is needed for the germination process to begin, and the seeds can survive freezing in cold climates and the stomach juices of animals before landing in a good spot. The cool, dark and dry climate of a garage or shed it probably what helped them stay viable. It is because of this resilience that projects such as seed banks are possible, and how some 2000 year old preserved seeds have been successfully grown today.

I was able to buy a whole gallon of hand sanitizer today

Most of my 1/12 furniture arrived but needed some extra adjustments but guess  what??? Apart from what I could do wi Apoxie, I had spare bits of wood from other projects which were just right for the adjustments!!! Now just painting some while the rest dries...

Finally my seeds arrived, along with three bare root astilbe which I would normally have potted on but they had so much growth already I just put them right in the garden and let them get on with it.

It's been a very good day for birds today, I saw a heron by the canal (possibly the same one I saw before, making the most of the quiet towpath), a nesting pair of magpies, a tree creeper appropriately creeping up a tree and a buzzard soaring over a field on the way home from work!

Our foster kitty was playing and running around for the first time

Scar Tissue was playing in the supermarket. RHCP always means an instant smile for me. I also have to be careful not to sing along to their music in public, I know them all by heart, it just happens.
