I fancied a boiled egg for breakfast. Put water on to boil, prepared two plates (one for the egg, one for the soldiers), got egg cup out of the cupboard. Then opened fridge to get egg. Ah, slight cock-up on the catering front. No eggs.

Cat and a neighbouring cat had a stand-off in the front garden this morning. I was alerted by a cat's yowl (not sure which cat) and looked out of the window to see two cats staring each other out on the front path. Now Cat is hardly the world's bravest cat, but luckily it appeared that neither was the other. They were both (at separate times) looking behind them, appearing to check whether they could extricate themselves from the confrontation without losing face. In the end neighbouring cat ran off.

Had a couple of hours in the garden today (working, not basking). Cut the lawns (including the edges), and massacred the daffodils. Yes, I know I thought I had dug up all the bulbs in the autumn, but obviously not. Daffodils look all very well for the couple of weeks that they flower, but after that are just untidy leaves. So they had to go.

Took two barrow loads of garden rubbish to the tip - on separate trips, I'm not superman!(and own only one wheelbarrow).
