Our spell of fine weather has broken, alas - it poured with rain today while I was at court for the mock trials heat. The kids were fantastic, and a school that hasn't taken part for some years stormed home to win the heat, displacing one that has won it every year I've been involved. It's such a joy to see so many eager, innocent faces in court. Yesterday was somewhat lacklustre - I chaired a couple of short trials and we did a bit of sentencing etc to help another court out.
Meanwhile, seedlings are waking up - some of the recalcitrant germinators are starting into growth. and I'll have to move some others on to bigger trays tomorrow or Monday. The first daffodils are at last in flower in the garden, and one fine day in the week I did some rose pruning and feeding. So if it's a desert later in the year, it won't be for the want of effort in the spring.
