The last couple of days I've been a bit down. The state of the world, the nation is just scary. Val picked up on this yesterday and despite having to do her job she gave me a cuddle and tried to cheer me up. This morning we had breakfast together. I made Scottish pancakes with excess sourdough starter, a kipper, poached eggs, bacon and tomato along with fresh sourdough... A veritable feast.





This afternoon we set off for a walk and found somewhere we'd never been before. It was around 5 miles and we popped into Sainsbury on the way home

This reached new heights yesterday when I was able to sunbathe in the lounge! The...

 Friday 4th June. Overcast and a little cooler. 9 a.m Off for a pre-booked appointment to get 2 new rear tyres fitted. All done by 9.22. Good service! Aldi then home. Made tomato sauce and garlic mushrooms for tomorrow. Peter added some more to the irrigation system. New TV delivered by John Lewis. Peter was busy setting it up. Old TV collected 30 mins later, en route to Romania! Made sourdough for the pizzas. (Peter made the starter). My first encounter with sourdough (apart from eating it!). Rain started but we had a quick walk round the block. Home made spicy bean and tomato soup with sourdough. Watched the new TV!
