Saturday

Good morning.  It was another glorious day, perfect for drying the sheets and even better for eating my meals in the garden!

Look what I saw!  Yes, a strawberry that's well ahead of its time.  What's the betting a late frost will catch it out!  A very pretty colour - it must be one of the new ones.

Yesterday was an easy day.  I didn't go for much of a walk, just to the post box and back.  I'll resume exercises, etc, in a couple of days, to give this neck/shoulder time to settle down.

In fact there was a lot I didn't do.  I didn't get to the allotment; I decided to go down early this morning instead, before too many people are out and about.  I didn't do any sewing.  I didn't do any sorting and tidying.

However, I did watch Jesus Christ, Superstar, I did some knitting, I changed the sheets and got them washed and dried, I started reading the first Merlin book (The Crystal Cave) and I had a lovely half hour chat with Beth and Alex.  I sat out in the sunshine, gathering my share of vitamin D for the day.  And I did my hour or so of algebra on linear equations and it ALL MADE SENSE.  Amazing!

Today's going to be gentle too.
Something energetic:
The most energetic thing I intend doing today is walking between rhubarb, broad bean seeds and tap down the allotment, watering cans in hand plus a bit of bend and stretch to pull some rhubarb.
I might do a bit of weeding out the front too.

Something for the house/garden:
Well, the watering and the weeding as above, there's the sheets to iron and I have a chicken to strip and then the carcass to boil up or stock but generally it's an easy, pottering sort of day

Something social:
Nothing specific is planned for today.  Beth and I have live chats every other day, pretty much.

Something creative:
I'm going to start another top.  Yes, I know, but I have the fabric, the time, the inclination and they are well made (though I say it myself), the style is simple and pretty timeless really and they will last me years.
There's something very satisfying about finally using resources I have stashed away for ages.

Something entertaining:
I'd like to watch the National Theatre's Jane Eyre this evening but, looking in Radio Times, there's Mary Berry's Easter Feast, Easter from Kings and Half a Sixpence (the film) so Jane Eyre may very well be deferred.  It's on until the 16th anyway.

And I will do my bit of algebra too.  I've nearly finished the course now so in the next couple of days I need to look through the Open Learn site to see what I fancy next.
