The chooks like being warm and dry and are laying plenty of eggs in spite of the season. They will remain under cover until DEFRA announces that the danger from Avian Flu has passed. We humans will remain in semi lockdown until our authorities give us the all clear. I suspect the birds will be able to mix sooner than their owners!
What’s to do but bake (and eat)
Yesterday was J’s birthday and I had ordered four gifts online from various sources. One is a pair of snuggly slippers, another a well reviewed book about cricket
The third gift is an apple press that needs to be assembled and won’t be used until next autumn. J says he will make cider and my plan is for fresh apple juice. We could make both. The third gift took me thirty seconds to assemble and three minutes to use and will enhance home movies on the TV on Saturday nights.
Only two of us walked in the rain for our Wednesday walk. It was wet but it was good for the soul.
And who’s this very pretty girl?
The ducks were happy to come out onto the muddy bank
How will the day end? If yesterday’s any indicator I am trembling in my muddy wellies!
As we wait to hear the words of wisdom (yeah, right) from our “leader” (yeah, right) I am cooking to stave off deepening gloom
We were so delighted to see each other even though she was still in her dressing gown (no need to get dressed these days) and I was standing several metres from her front door in the rain! It was just such a pleasure to speak for a few minutes. In spite of everything she and her husband have decorated their house and garden. It’s so pretty and made me feel happy – I do love Christmas lights.
Lockdown has allowed F to spend time producing more of her unique and beautiful stained glass artworks. We are fortunate to own two of her pieces.
