My daughter has just dropped off - at a safe distance- a box of lovely fresh veg from a local firm. I’m really impressed. In it are
1 avocado
4 bananas
1 swede
1 pineapple
2 brown onions
1 red onion
1 orange
2 satsumas
1 red and 1 green pepper
1 red and 1 green apple
1 huge lemon
2limes
1 white cabbage
1 cauliflower
1 leek
1x 500g broccoli
3 salad tomatoes
2 parsnips
1 punnet of strawberries
1 punnet of raspberries
1punnet of red grapes
1 pear and another apple
3 plums
6 medium potatoes
1 lettuce
1 cucumber
The freshness and quality are very good and I am thrilled to have received this box of healthy food. It cost £20 and I’m happy with that.

diggingdoris, that's so lovely!

I've had a call from someone I've never met who lives nearby and asked me if there's anything I'd like when she goes shopping. I've requested EGGS! Last time I was able to go shopping was the time when panic buying cleared all the shelves at Morrisons and I was down to my last one - which I've now soft boiled and savoured in the happy expectation of more to come. And that makes me happysmile

I have a gardener

This made me happy today! Someone in my village has put some empty beer cans to good use, as they are not being collected by the refuse team at the moment. Well done! Another tribute to the NHS and carers.

A lovely lady in the village phoned me to say she had been shopping and had some asparagus and would I like some! Would I? Oh yes perlease ?

Gardening in warm sunny weather

I got an on line slot for delivery on Sunday.

I suffer badly from insomnia and restless legs 24/7. This afternoon I managed a three hour nap...bliss.

We and our dc and dgc are all well.

I've just made my own coleslaw, using up a bit of cabbage, the last carrot and a spring onion. Fresh mint from the garden was chopped in and mayo added.

I really do LOVE coleslaw so that made me happy.

MissAdventure Tue 14-Apr-20 16:13:42

I got some coleslaw at long last! smile
I've been really fancying some, but nowhere has had any.

rockgran Tue 14-Apr-20 16:12:16

I managed to get a delivery slot! Wow!

Saw some ducklings on today’s walk by the river smile

Family quiz via "Zoom", we were on the losing side, but fun nevertheless and good to see everyone, after a few weeks now, in their respective self isolation quarters.

MissAdventure Sat 11-Apr-20 20:47:15

Ha! smile

Thank you. I think I had just been unexpectedly organised and got it off the line yesterday.

All my boys clothes look the same to me!

Auntieflo Sat 11-Apr-20 20:04:42

MissAdventure, I hope you find your missing laundry, and that it comes back all ironed.?

maddyone Sat 11-Apr-20 20:00:43

Awww Gaga couldn’t you just eat them, they’re so gorgeous.
My best moment today, FaceTime with our grandchildren.

Watching my perfect GS just after he'd fallen asleep. Immediately before he fell asleep he looked at me and said 'Cuggle'.

Maggiemaybe Sat 11-Apr-20 19:53:12

Oh, hope you find it, MissA. shock

Seeing the DGS run around like carefree puppies on their Zoom egg hunt, loving every minute.

Getting a 7 second video of my precious DGS5. One second for every day of his life so far.

MissAdventure Sat 11-Apr-20 19:38:11

I suddenly remembered a huge load of washing that I'd left on the line and was despairing at having to sort it all out if it had got damp.

When I got out there the line was empty, but much as it made me happy, I'm now worried someone has 'alf inched it.

D phoning me from her car parked outside to give me an Easter egg----and some money too. I kept my distance sad difficult.
At least I was able to pass her GGS's birthday card and present and a turkey which I'd kept from Christmas for use at Easter.

D begins her furloughing next Tuesday so she can continue her work on the house with the help from the children. I was just glad that everyone was okay, a worrying time.

Baggs Sat 11-Apr-20 18:29:48

Daisies, dandelions, wild cherry blossom, and the first visible shoots of northern marsh orchids, all in my garden.

BlueSky Sat 11-Apr-20 18:24:32

My DH coming back from A&E when I thought they might keep him in.

glammanana Sat 11-Apr-20 17:39:53

Getting a video call from my DGS2 to tell me he will bring me some compost and a dozen trays of bedding plants and trailing plants so I can spend next week putting together my hanging baskets and tubs he is such a thoughtful boy.

Seeing some flower seeds I saved from last year poking through in the seed tray in my conservatory.
Seeing the first flush of a cereal crop coming through in the field at the side of our house. There’s something very satisfying in seeing a crop from first sowing to harvest.
Listening to our neighbour’s two year old playing in his garden.

Having a family get-together (via Zoom of course!) for our younger grandson's birthday. Everyone looked happy!
Managed to cut OH's hair after watching a few YouTube tutorials. It doesn't look too bad at all for a first attempt.
Waiting for a supermarket delivery anytime now.
The sun is shining!
