So much for prophecy

We have had the longest cold spell for a decade and most of next week is expected to have frosts.
Unicorn has had cystitis and has been off work for weeks.
I shall try not to tempt fate in future.
Everything in the garden seems to have stopped during the cold spell. The daffodils have never been this late. The bird feeders are doing a grand job even if the squirrels do keep spilling them.
The coriander and the chives have sprouted in their pots and have already become leggy. I must find place for them out of the sun.
Now to draw a plan of the back plot.

Planting and sickness

Unicorn has been ill for a week, which has not happened in more than 25 years. Coughing, lung conjestion, difficulty in breathing, dizziness, general disability and continual tiredness makes my cold, lethagy and inability to concentrate seem trivial.
I've combed the white grass. A packet of Clarkia elegans seed, which was free with SodaStream so long ago the packet is not dated, is scattered around the green cone. A little early but the frost warning has been withdrawn and the wind shifts to the west by the middle of next week.
Two pots on the front windowsill have been planted with coriander and chives (one to each).
I have resurrected the propagator and the polystyrene plug-maker which now has a row of Moneymaker tomatoes and a row of Little Gem cos lettuce.
Replaced the string on the nut feeder as the Fat-arses (presumably) had eaten the previous one.
One snow drop has appeared by the holly. There is a scattering of yellow crocus and some of the daffodils are showing leaves. What has happened to the other three hundred bulbs I know not but the mombresia is already shooting.
