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.

A kind lady from our village delivering DH's prescription.
Working with DH in the veg garden.
Watching Peggy, our JR, having a mad few minutes in our field chasing nothing in particular.

Then hearing that Boris has made it out of intensive care.

Meeting someone I hadn't seen for months in the 1 in 1 out queue outside Waitrose today.
2 very good-looking security guys were keeping us moving but there would never be the nastiness that some other towns seem to get with their customers.

My son and I went for a lovely walk today and I met a friend who was out walking the same route. We stood and chatted while observing more than the 2m distance for a few minutes - it was so nice.

I finished work for the Easter weekend - such a relief to switch off the laptop for four days.

We made a TikTok video with 2 of the DCs and it’s been viewed by loads of people for some reason!

This afternoon the teenage girl, who lives opposite my house, treated our cul de sac to a concert, singing from her own front lawn. She had all the right gear- microphone, speakers etc. We all sat in our own gardens, I skyped my 8 year granddaughter so she could listen in as well, and very nice it was too. Once couple of neighbours were even jiving.

A robin who just popped down to grub in the earth I’ve been digging. We had a bit of a chat while I downed my ?

Phoned to see if I could get a new mattress - old one has really caved in and was causing backache.
All sorted out and delivered this evening.
Brilliant.

Sitting with the door open all evening, pottered in garden all day.
Some seeds I thought had failed are coming up.

Someone we know who works in B&M dropped me off two bags of compost and some chicken manure pellets for the compost heap and to put round strawberries and raspberry bushes.smile

On our walk with our DGS (who is living with us) we lost ‘Peter’ his favourite toy - retracing our steps we found Peter and that made him (and me) very happy ?

Arranging for my daily walk to be without any steep hills! DH had to go to collect his prescription so he dropped me off half way there and I got a very pleasant half hour walk home. (I don't like hills but we are in quite a hilly area.)

I managed to find some self-raising flour at the local garage shop of all places! Easter cake baked and cooling!

Discovered a hedgehog has taken up residence ina large tipped over flowerpot behind our shed.
Realised that a blue tot is nesting in the box on our house wall. The box has been there for about 6 years and never been used before.

On our road we all have very long thin gardens that go down to a railway line. My lovely neighbour next door doesn't bother with her garden at all, it's all overgrown but boasts a huge beautiful Bramey Apple right at the bottom. The family next door to her have asked if they can make a small community garden in the area of garden where the tree is, for our three houses.

He says he will put gates in our fences for us if we wish to use it. It looks lovely and he has worked hard on it.

All I can think is what a nice positive thing to do in such uncertain times.

The same as everyday since this covid19 virus started so very grateful that all my family and friends are safe

MissAdventure Fri 10-Apr-20 19:03:45

The mum of the lady I supported today is decluttering, and asked if I would use a bar of scented soap (unused, of course!)

When I got home and opened the little box, inside is a really lovely rose scented soap.

The smell reminds me of my Nan's garden. smile

Today I got a WhatsApp photo of my gorgeous 8 week old grandson with the fluffy grey Easter bunny I posted to him only yesterday!

The caption from DGS via Mummy and Daddy said
'I love him Gran', and it made my day because we haven't seen him for weeks.

We were just getting to know him before lockdown.

Aw that’s lovely MissA the kind of gift that lasts a while too and will bring joy each time you use it. I love rose scented soap too.

A bottle of £26.99 pink champagne from Waitrose - substitution for the very cheap pink Prosecco (£6.99) I ordered.
Charged at the lower price smile

Fiachna50 Fri 10-Apr-20 19:42:29

I saw a Green-Tit in the garden and had a lovely Whatsapp call with family today.

merlotgran Fri 10-Apr-20 19:58:07

What's a Green Tit, Fiachna50? I don't think I've heard of one.

Urmstongran Fri 10-Apr-20 20:15:15

Bluddy brilliant Maw! What an unexpected bonus!
Oh go on then, just a small one if you insist ....

My day was made happy by the sunshine we’ve enjoyed here in Spain. First day all week I’ve not worn a cardigan!
