We usually try - don't always succeed - to go round the garden on NYD to see
what is flowering on that day. I thought it might be interesting if
everyone on urg did that and compared notes, if they are feeling able to do
so, of course. ;-))
For example, we have primroses out at present, as well as all the usual
suspects like Lonicera purpusii and Sarcococcas, Viburnum tinus etc. and on
Christmas Eve we saw two tiny flowered daffs in someone's garden in
Ivybridge, about 30 mins down the A38 from here.

The neighbour's ginger Tom is out in our garden.

I spotted one on my fence this morning, waiting for birds.
The swine disappeared as soon as I put my hand on the door handle.

I got two cats with one cat-apult a few days ago. A tortoiseshell
was sat on the bottom fence, close to the fence shared with a neighbour.

I dropped into a leopard crouch, retrieved the gat from its resting
place, loaded a ball bearing and slid silently out of the side door in a
way which would have left Foggy Mildew amazed.
I took aim then rounded the corner and fired, the ball whistling through
the foliage 2" above the moggie. It disappeared over the fence,
followed a second later by a second one, the ginger Tom, which had been
lurking in the neighbour's garden.
