Day 32 TED Talk

Notes for new readers - as this is a diary the first entry is the last, so you get to know 'who done it' before the crime is committed! This is a pain but can't be helped. After a week of entries the scrolling will stop and if you want to venture further click on 'OLDER POSTS' and read until you get to the first entry 'The Day Before Day 1

A very quiet day compared to yesterday and I spent quite a lot of time playing Scrabble. 
The weather continues to be very pleasant and Jasper and I walked down to the allotment and watered the beans. Also managed to buy some trailing Lobelia for the floral raised bed.
I was full of good intentions about working in the back garden and did do some watering but not much else. Well, when you are 80 there is no necessity to overwork oneself and there is always tomorrow and the day after that . . . . 

This is my grandson Bo who lives in Antwerp. He recently gave a talk to an audience of 800. One in a series of TED Talks. His talk is called 'A Successful Failure'. Bo is 15.

This is Martina the first Beech or Pine Marten I bought in France at a vide grenier. She cost €2 - a bargain. 
One feature  martens have is the distinct pale or creamy yellow bib-like patch on their throat area and up to their chest. Their coats are generally coloured dark or chestnut brown. They have slender bodies with an average length of 45 centimetres, much like domestic cats. They also have long bushy tails which enable them to balance on trees. Pine martens have pointy faces and yellow-tipped ears.
