This morning I woke up to actual, real, sunshine (rather than the "rain rain rain" we have been having almost constantly since December last year). So I decided to delay getting back to "money earning" work and do a bit of gardening. I live in an apartment, so gardening involves a line of window boxes outside, and a line of vegetable growing boxes inside (real veg not ). Since I have tables, desks, and computers in front of the windows I have to do the window boxes from outside (so it is fortunate I live on the ground floor). Hence the fact that I have waited for a sunny/non rainy day to do it.

I discovered a weird thing. I actually have two small apartments rather than one big one so I have three windows on the front of the building all in a line. As you would expect, the soil in the boxes on two of the window sills was soaking wet. However the soil in the boxes on the other window sill was bone dry. And I don't just mean "not wet" I mean it was baked hard, like I had dried it in a kiln. Not only is this weird because of the amount of rain we have been getting, but the weirdest thing is that these boxes have exactly the same exposure as the other ones, and I cannot see how two lots can be soaking wet and the other lot bone dry. Strange.
