When i restarted this blog on 17th March, i had a lot of ideas. Each day these ideas dwindle, but i want to keep the blog going. i hope it won’t be boring. Very windy, rain and sun, still quite cold for the time of year, nothing much growing although the grass is greening up…

Had a Zoom chat today with girlfriends. Then I decided to call an old friend who lives in BC. We had a nice chat and a good laugh, everyone keeps well, which is a blessing. A vaccine is being developed in Britain and will be available by Sept. even though it hasn’t undergone trials yet.…

Sunshine again today, still cool. Escaped to the garden where i am busy evicting the weeds and day lillies which have really taken over one of the beds and are proving very difficult to remove.

No drinking last night so woke up raring to go. Cleaning the bathroom was top of the list, very exciting! Did get into the garden for a little more clean up and mulch laying. The day was sunny, windy and cool. Dipping into my home library, I have come across books on Ancient Greece, the…

Not a very productive day!!! Lots of rain so no gardening. Caught up with some emails, read a little, started a puzzle. Apparently wild fires are threatening the abandoned Nuclear site at Chernobyl. A fact I didn’t’ know is Chernobyl continued to produce electricity until the year 2000!!! Mr Trump is to give an address…

What a lovely day! Poached eggs on toast for breakfast. Mass on TV, strange days indeed. I went out in the garden and weeded under some of the bushes i know will soon leaf out and make it impossible to get at the bases. I wasn’t able to do this last year and the weeds…
