Travelling On

Hope you had a good day.

I did thanks, beanie - though I've added to the list of things I need to buy, sadly - a new pair of scales, I've realised it's contributed to the abysmal state of my eggless cake

I've also been soaking three sets of seeds, since they're so old - nasturtiums, calendula, and kale, plus I've retrieved my little stash of vegetable punnets  so I'll be doing some planting today.

It is interesting, hearing who is staying with whom in lockdown. Ex-wife though? that is intriguing.

It seems colder and windier here this morning. I hope you have a good day

He was acting up too much for too long, and didn't realise his primary relationship needed attention too.  I warned him  ... this semi-detached relationship is actually a really good fit for her, and not too bad a fit for him.

Definitely colder and windier here too.  OTOH, the cherry blossoms are out, there are two **huge** cherry trees on the rec. ground by my house, so my view is spectacular right now.

I love cherry blossom - so pretty! We used to have a huge tree - one of the later flowering, dark pink ones (others in our street are smaller/ lighter/ earlier flowering) but had to have it cut down - it was on our property, but bordering a neighbour's drive, and the roots not only raised his drive but were going into the drain under there

I never use scales. 

A good old tablespoon all the way & I guess butter. 

Luckily it works for me.

What a shame!  But reality will impinge on beauty sometimes ... I'm just hoping "my" trees don't get stripped of their blossoms by all this wind.

I wish I was that good, beanie!  I've just been (loudly) lamenting my lack of practical skills ... it's why I switched the computer back on

Agreed, they are some impressive skills Beanie!

Cherry blossom is such a boost at the moment - it’s so good to see nature carrying on as normal.

I never think about it being a skill.
JUst how I do it!!

I guarantee you thats a skill I'll have to buy new scales - I knew those SB vouchers would come in useful! 

It's finally sunny here, but I confess I haven't stepped out yet - rescuing the kitchen from the mess I made yesterday, carrying on setting up the seed trays for the ones I've chosen to get started, some genealogy research, yadda yadda.  Hope all's well with us all.
