OK Boss.

You know you're not in control of your life when a bloomin' robin tells you what to do!! This morning I walked out for the first inspection of overnight slug damage when the robin few down to the last compost bin and tapped it with its beak as if to tell me to get on with emptying it. Hah!

Ever obedient, I have spent a lot of the day doing just that until a few minutes ago and one more toad later, when I realised that there is a bumble bees' nest in the compost. So now I am going to find out how long they last in a season, and then cover over the bin so that they don't suffer any more disturbance!

So much for the independent woman then!
