Xilman's Journal: Making progress

Good news: I should be in paid employment again in a couple of weeks. An offer has been made and accepted but the paperwork has to be issued and signed.

A third baby monkey puzzle showed up two days ago and is still only 3mm or so above the surface of the compost. The second one had a difficult birth (it had trouble getting rid of the seed case) but the oldest is romping away. Now 33 days old, it is 73mm high. There are eight more seeds planted but even if none of them sprout, I reckon three out of eleven isn't too bad.
