I see that a 33ft long and 990lb Giant Squid has been caught in the Antarctic waters.

I would most likely have found that easier to sell , instead of the 11 boxes of Herring Milts I had try and sell today, for those that don’t know herring Milts, also known as soft roe, are in fact the male reproductive glands and their contents….. yes seminal fluid.

Why any one would want to eat them i do not know.I confess to buying them a few times, cooking them but have never been able to eat any, they smell and look disgusting and the texture is indescribable.

Best to stick to some of the other nice fish I sell , like Trout, Salmon, Monkfish and my favourite Seabass. I wonder if I could tempt the lobster who blogs?

Every year just a few miles away from where I live, a 70 acre field gets planted up with 51 million Tulips.

Its an incredible sight when they are all out in flower.

large sections ,all of one colour followed by another colour and another colour,like a huge rainbow .

You have to be quick if you want to see them because they are not grown for the flowers but for the Bulbs so they dead head the flowers.

Yesterday while out walking , we saw the fields all planted up , with plants covered for protection from bad weather and any last frosts I expect.

Later on in the year I will go back and take some photos when the Tulips are all out in Flower, it certainly will be worth coming back for a look.

 I wonder how long it will be before Natural England close Dersingham Bog to the public.

 Dersingham bog is a Nature reserve near Wolferton , and part of  the Sandringham estate. it covers almost 400 acres and is home to many ground nesting birds such as Lapwing, Stone chat, Linnet ,Woodlark, Nightjar, Meadow Pit and Shelduck.

As the reserve is now attracting more and more ground nesting birds they have put up Signs urging visitors to keep dogs on a short lead and not to stray off the paths between  February and September, as sadly the two don’t mix.

Natural England objected to a proposal for a path along the sea defense ,which would connect Kings Lynn to Hunstanton, along with the RSPB ,so given time I expect they will object to visitors at this Nature Reserve too.

 

 

 

On our walk today we came across huge piles of the above vegetables, the smell was quiet disgusting !!

Right hands up who owns a pair of Wellington Boots and I don’t just mean the ordinary plain green ones.

I love nice bright colours, they  make me feel happy, while dull and dark make me feel miserable, infact its amazing how colours can effect my mood.

For months I lusted after a pair of pink Hunter Boots, but never found any I could afford.

 

I finally fell in love with a great pair of Wellington boots all green and flowery, trouble is no one wants to be seen with me when I wear them  🙂

 

  I am now also the proud owner of a pair of bright Purple Croc’s, a gift from Dubai.

I dug my Heart Rate Monitor out the cupboard today.

I originally brought it to keep my heart rate in the fat burning Zone, but I then read far too many articles about them, all with conflicting advise , so I kind of lost the plot a bit.

In the end I just worked out as hard as I could and thought that had to be doing me some good.

Today I jogged for 40 min’s rather than 25, my heart rate started off at 168 then leveled off at between 145 /150 returning to 160 towards the end of my jog,not too bad if you look here. ( age 45 )

when I stopped jogging it dropped to blow 100 in less than a min.

To find my working and fat burning zones I need to know my resting heart rate, which I will take in the morning when I first wake up, before getting out of bed.

Hope fully over the next few weeks we will see how my working heart rate changes, and my resting heart rate gets lower.
