My daughter has just dropped off - at a safe distance- a box of lovely fresh veg from a local firm. I’m really impressed. In it are 1 avocado 4 bananas 1 swede 1 pineapple 2 brown onions 1 red onion 1 orange 2 satsumas 1 red and 1 green pepper 1 red and 1 green apple 1 huge lemon 2limes 1 white cabbage 1 cauliflower 1 leek 1x 500g broccoli 3 salad tomatoes 2 parsnips 1 punnet of strawberries 1 punnet of raspberries 1punnet of red grapes 1 pear and another apple 3 plums 6 medium potatoes 1 lettuce 1 cucumber The freshness and quality are very good and I am thrilled to have received this box of healthy food. It cost £20 and I’m happy with that. What has made you happy today?
I've had a call from someone I've never met who lives nearby and asked me if there's anything I'd like when she goes shopping. I've requested EGGS! Last time I was able to go shopping was the time when panic buying cleared all the shelves at Morrisons and I was down to my last one - which I've now soft boiled and savoured in the happy expectation of more to come. And that makes me happy
This made me happy today! Someone in my village has put some empty beer cans to good use, as they are not being collected by the refuse team at the moment. Well done! Another tribute to the NHS and carers.
I've just made my own coleslaw, using up a bit of cabbage, the last carrot and a spring onion. Fresh mint from the garden was chopped in and mayo added.
Family quiz via "Zoom", we were on the losing side, but fun nevertheless and good to see everyone, after a few weeks now, in their respective self isolation quarters.
D phoning me from her car parked outside to give me an Easter egg----and some money too. I kept my distance difficult. At least I was able to pass her GGS's birthday card and present and a turkey which I'd kept from Christmas for use at Easter.
D begins her furloughing next Tuesday so she can continue her work on the house with the help from the children. I was just glad that everyone was okay, a worrying time.
Getting a video call from my DGS2 to tell me he will bring me some compost and a dozen trays of bedding plants and trailing plants so I can spend next week putting together my hanging baskets and tubs he is such a thoughtful boy.
Seeing some flower seeds I saved from last year poking through in the seed tray in my conservatory. Seeing the first flush of a cereal crop coming through in the field at the side of our house. There’s something very satisfying in seeing a crop from first sowing to harvest. Listening to our neighbour’s two year old playing in his garden.
Having a family get-together (via Zoom of course!) for our younger grandson's birthday. Everyone looked happy! Managed to cut OH's hair after watching a few YouTube tutorials. It doesn't look too bad at all for a first attempt. Waiting for a supermarket delivery anytime now. The sun is shining!
