ROSEMARY.

Rough,

Old,

Sinuous spikes of green.  

Emotive

Moments

Ameliorating,

Remembering

Yesterdays.

Might need some work! (could do better?)

Is it worth it?

There was a social-distanced meeting in Rosemary's garage this morning. Rain was heaving down, but at least the thunder and lightening seems to have passed over. Still muggy, a breath of fresh air would be nice. Market meeting was to decide how we should do a re-opening. So much faff! What with perspex screen for the cashier, card reader for cashless payments, ways to clean and sterilise - so much to consider, not sure it will be worth all that effort! Oh, and we will have to increase percentage to 12 to cover extra costs. Thankfully, others are investigating the important stuff - all I have to do is buy cheap kitchen roll. Now it is Friday. P bought tomatoes from Costco for me so we went to West Kirby for apples, basil etc to make tomato+basil dip. Have mint in the garden so trying to come up with something to use it. Current thinking is tomato, crab apple juice (in freezer), mint, grated root ginger. Maybe a touch of chilli for bite, maybe cucumber for coulth. Have done a f...

Strawberries and stray emails

A is feeling a bit off so they didn't come to the plot today. I tied up the tomatoes that the wind had blown down and did a bit of weeding. The old shed end has fallen on the asparagus bed but it was too heavy for me to lift - will take two! The water butt by the door is full, so hopeful the well is too. Picked a few strawberries. P. collected me. Saw a 5-spot yellow ladybird, a lilac (or maybe grey) long bug with apricot (or orange) spots in 2 lines down its back. After some research, it could be a ladybird larva. We went out earlier to Helen's, to collect face masks she had made. Lots of choice and came home with 3 instead of four - idiot! She is looking well and pragmatic about her health. While I was at the plot P went to the tip (an hour and a half today - chap said last week was quick because everyone was at the beach. Probably why the R rate is back up to 1.) Also got some milk and spuds for tomorrow. Still windy, but the sun is trying hard. Confusing emails f...

Ch..ch..change?

Monday and it is now 12 weeks since lockdown - which means those who had to self-isolate can now go out. Doesn't it? Non essential shops are opening today, with social distancing, of course. Also their own take on how to avoid customers touching everything and buying nothing. Good luck with that, I shall stay at home and make chutney. Possibley Portuguese custard tarts as well. P. has gone to the tip with the bags from the allotment. M tried to fix our mac from home, but said it needs to be a personal job - us to him or him to us. When travel is allowed, of course. Till then, nannysoo is a problem so I will just tell a few people to use rocking horse and let P. deal with the rest. P is making a raised bed for the asparagus, from a pallet the logs were packed on. Cut, fixed together and creosoted, all it needs now are a few posts to pin it in the ground. So off to timberyard. P's tablet wont switch on, so thinks he will have to buy a new one. Not today, though. The sk...
