Friday

Good morning, everyone.  It is stupid o'clock and I am up before the lark again, bright eyed and bushy tailed.  I have plenty to do this morning so maybe that is just as well.

Yesterday turned out to be another fine and sunny day, not as warm maybe but still really pleasant.  Today it looks as if things are changing.  Cloud and a breeze with possible rain tomorrow.  We will see.

I had a lovely time with Val yesterday.  She came round in the afternoon; we sat out in the garden with a cuppa tea/coffee and talked the hind legs off a couple of donkeys!  Well, we had much to catch up on.  After she had left, it was almost time for our SW Zoom meeting.  It was a lot of fun and we got caught short at the end when if finished abruptly as time ran out.  The face to face meetings are due to resume next month at some point and there's mixed feelings.  One thing for sure, they will be very different to the old meetings with very strict timings and numbers, masks, no raffle, no refreshments, distancing . . .  I wonder if people will actually prefer the online meetings.

Today starts off with a trip to Morrisons to get some bits and bobs for the weekend.  Then I need to deal with any residual untidiness, pack and get all the other stuff I take ready.  Fir instance, I always take my yogurts with me.

Finally, after a trip to the allotment to water and dig a few potatoes for Dad, it's lunch and off.
As usual, I may or may not be able to post over the weekend so don't worry, I will be back on Monday.

I'll finish with a photo of The First Tomato - and very tasty it was too.

(it's the uncut one in the centre)

Have a great Friday and be safe.  xx

  4. It rained during the night and looks like it's set in for the day so I'm excused watering duties.

    Hope you have a lovely cosy weekend with your Dad xx

    1. It rained here, then cleared and now it's darkening over again. I reckon that gets me out of watering duties too although I'm going to do the pots under the tree.
      And thank you. xx
