大雨・・・
It rained all night with strong wind. It was actually making some noise all night and I had my first NOT great sleep. (Very rare indeed!) It carried on for the moring so we stayed indoors and wiped moldy walls in our accommodation. It is quite damp in this house... Anyway, so that was something to do.
昨日の夜降り続けて、しかも風が強かったから私にしては珍しく雨音でよく眠れませんでした・・・
We met another (we have met quite a few so far) volunteer gardener today. She is quite young (that is unusual, as far as we've seen) and I hope we get on well. Not that I have any complaints about the age of others (Honestly).
もう何人か会ったのだけれど、今日も新しいボランティアの方に会いました。今まであったか方々はけっこう年配の方が多く、でも今日の方は割りと若いのでした・・・仲良くなれるといいな・・・別に年配の方に不満があるわけじゃありませんよー！
In the afternoon, I got to my Tuesdays area, Bulb Meadow. As you can guess from the name, it is all about bulbs here, mostly spring ones (some Antumn ones but not too much. At the moment you can see Cycramen and Colchium). So there is not much going on at the moment. I spent most of the time pulling out Welsh poppies.
Poppies.
Genus Papaver.... you think.... BUT Welsh poppy is Meconopsis cambrica, Carifornian poppy is Eschscholzia californica. But yeah, field poppy is, finally, Papaver rhoeas.
I can't even pronounce the Latin of Carifornian poppy...
午後にやっと受け持ち場所へ。球根の庭。名前からお察しのとおり、春咲きの球根がメインなので、今はあまりなにもありませぬ・・・今日はウェルッシュ ポピーを片付けました。
ポピーと一口に（通称で）いっても、みなケシ属（Papaver)と思ったら大間違い！ウェルッシュ ポピーはMeconopsis、 カリフォルニアン ポピーは Eschscholzia。こんなの発音すらできないよー！！
Well, here are some pictures of out accommodation. I share the kitchen and washing machine with another trainee.
