More grass to the compost

And my son’s GCSE notes, as it happens.

Poor weather is forecast for tomorrow so it was a major rush just to get through a first cut of all the grass today. But we managed it. Sadly, whilst I was tidying stuff out of the way whilst my daughter followed on with the mower, I disturbed this (robin?) nest hidden inside a discarded tarpaulin

I reassembled it as best I could, but I suspect I may have been too late. I’m not sure it would have survived anyhow unfortunately, as it was not very far off the ground and once the chicks hatched and started making a noise the cats would have been all over it 🙁

All the clippings went into the compost bin mixed, as I said, with my son’s remaining GCSE notes which he doesn’t think he’ll need any more given that he’s finishing his degree in a matter of months.

I left it an hour and put the thermometer in.

I imagine that’s going to be pretty toasty tomorrow morning.
