Only the other day I showed you how I was using the base plates of some veggies to try and grow more. The lettuce hasn't surprised me as I have done that before but I am amazed at just how quickly the garlic has pushed out roots. It will be interesting to see whether I get some nice green shoots that I can cook with.
This morning I walked around to our little mini supermarket and met my neighbour Joan coming in the opposite direct. We stood at a good social distance and had a bit of a natter. People coming along the road stopped, crossed the road and went on past us. It's a really bizarre situation isn't it. I find myself scanning the path ahead of me just in case I need to take evasive action. At least everyone is doing this with a smile. I bet an awful lot of local residents have never ever taken a walk around the estate. It's nice to see people doing that now.
Cooking session today has given me a huge pan of chicken curry to freeze in portions. At least Tony will be well fed for a good long while if anything should happen to me :-)

Yes, that is quick! We used to do things like this as children, I seem to recall.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very odd situation isn't it....when you see anyone you know outside and stop to have a brief chat from a distance, it kind of feels like you're doing something naughty!
Wow! really interesting!

Sadly the weather has turned here again and we are back to rain and cold keeping people inside. It was nice to watch people walking by. Take care.
