    Zambales, Philippines has reached 53 celsius. This heatwave is serious.

    I'm having heat cramps and exhaustion here in Iloilo. It's midnight and I'm sweating.

    I noticed some fresh shoots on roses this morning too - here in the East Midland, UK. I thought it seemed a bit early

    I die and whilst I sigh,
    one of my laments darts and flies into the air
    to be transformed into the soul of a heart
    that also sighs and dies.

    When from her heart the sigh of life
    flies towards mine, and the heart no longer deprived,
    lives and by living is enlivened,
    Life and death, be welcome!
    He knows no joy
    who knows not how to live and die like this.

    Waiting for seeds to germinate is like …
    Come on! Come on! I’m waiting!

    The seeds say:
    We’ll come when we’re good and ready and not a moment sooner

    This is the time of year when a visit to the allotment can send me into a deep depression - the grass is waist high, the crop plants are barely surviving and neighbouring plot holders probably hate me

    Then I think: One year I had a leveret in the long grass. This is what rewilding looks like. This is good. Learn to live with Nature

    And ... it is still No Mow May 😂
