Monday

 Sorry this is so late - I slept a bit late and had planned to do an early morning shop.
It's still a bit dull here but the sun is trying to break through and it's a bit milder than it has been.  We're supposed to have some sunshine today and for the next two days as well so fingers crossed.

Yesterday was a lovely day with Beth and Alex over for lunch and an nice lazy afternoon/evening.  I didn't get any ironing done and I didn't do any weeding, I was just lazy.

It's just as well I am feeling fairly energetic today.  I've been to M&S and Aldi and am now stocked up with necessities for the week ahead.  I then stopped off at Homebase and got several bags of potting compost and some canes plus, as an extra, a little tray of baby leeks.  I'm not sure whether they will go in the garden or down the allotment, I'll have a think, but I do know that, while leeks are not hard to find and are fairly cheep, the fresh pulled from the garden variety is a wondrous thing in both taste and aroma.   Dad had some last year and it was a pleasure to pull them up and cook with them.

After I've put away the shopping, I have to pop out to pick u[p some Easter cards a young friend has made for me and then I'll stop off at the allotment on the way home to unload the canes and the compost and, with any luck, to get that weeding done.

Then the rest of the day is my own so ironing, knitting and general housework is on the cards.  If the sun really comes out as promised, there may also be a bit of sitting out in the garden too.  Wouldn't that be great!

So I'd better get going.  Thanks for all your comments yesterday; I have replied to them now.  Have a lovely day and wishing you sunshine.  xx
