I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

I’ve just finished watering almost 200 potted plants outside with a watering can so to see it start raining as soon as I’d finished was hilarious . . .
At least i know they’ve been fed and watered properly . . .
It does indeed take ages but it also means I can water them properly and make sure they all get fed as well, and to be fair it’s good exercise for about 90 minutes.
Yesterday though I ordered one of those expanding hoses lol 😉
Although I like the rhythm I get into running up and down the stairs with the watering can
It almost always puts me into a good mood both while I’m doing it and after I’ve finished . . .
It’s 7:15 p.m. I have just finished my dinner and settled down to drink a digestive wine and then this. Laughter is truly the best medicine. How paradoxical. Watering while it’s raining. God has an
extraordinary sense of humor. I think it’s intended to show us how to laugh at ourselves
Makes me think about Umberto Eco and The Name of the Rose; an underlying theme of which was humour in everyday life.
I always think it’s the law of sod in full effect to be fair 😉
Although the amount of rain we actually had wouldn’t of even dampened the top layer of soil let alone got right down to where the water is actually needed . . .

That must take ages. And it has been so dry since lock down started.

Yeah, great idea. Save the watering can for the next drought!

So true. The ‘garden’ is looking more like a dried up lake bed.

If you’re garden is more resembling a dried up lake bed I can thoroughly recommend watering your garden regularly as a way of changing this . . . 😉
