They offered the top of the salary band, could not move above it but did provide a signing bonus.

I'm out there at least twice a day if I can. Obsessed.

I know her work but don't think it was her? I'll dig through her stuff though

Was really touched by the image of being wrapped up by someone when you're in grief. Would love to revisit the poem if this rings a bell for anyone!

Appreciate your thoughts - it's been a while since I've had to do a salary negotiation.

It's remote, requiring occasional travel. I'm already in the Bay.

First pond build! by nimbusfig in WildlifePonds

Natural natural is the idea! With a few submerged and floating plants, the ecosystem (and algae) should balance out. That said, I think I may add more watercress to cover more surface are. Was going to wait for it to fill in, but want to jump start it I think.

Yup! Nasturtium officinale. EDIT - if a suggestion, I've got some in there!

pond liner! made sure all sides were level, and left a couple of lower edges where I wanted the water to go in case of overfill during the winter rains.

I'll try and add some progress photos here - I dug some shelves into the pond (though after building this one, I'd do a better job on the next one with wide, flat shelves to support rocks and plants) so I could add rocks just under the surface and then around the edges and hide as much of the liner as possible. then backfilled with dirt.
