Weather forecast was for a warm day but it was rather cool this morning, the detail of the forecast showed that the higher temperature would be about 4pm.
Every day I do some sort of cleaning but decided to spend a bit longer on it today, I don't like housework but neither do I like a house that isn't clean and relatively tidy. Cleaning the bathroom always takes the longest. Hung some washing out, lots of black flies in the garden, not the tiny ones you get when it's humid. I think there was some muck spreading going on nearby recently, I don't know whether that attracted the flies.
Had lunch and set off on my walk. The weather was warming up and there were a number of people on the field. Whichever direction I walked there was inevitably someone who decided to walk towards me, one man with two dogs seemed as if he was doing it deliberately. A couple were lounging about on the grass, all of the houses around here without exception have gardens so why do they have to lie about in public spaces? And why is it that if I'm walking through the woods, it's always me who diverts off if someone is coming towards me? If I'm sounding a bit narky it's because that's how I was feeling.
Still overcast but nice enough to do some gardening, the black flies seem to have disappeared. Dug a hole and put in the contents of a pot where I'd been growing some bulbs, I'm not sure whether they've flowered and even less sure of what they were but maybe I'll find out next spring. The daffodils are dying off now but the tulips are looking resplendent. Working my way round the garden, it's looking pretty good.
Was intending to iron the washing but logged on to Rootschat instead. Ordered some flower seeds as there's no telling whether I'll be able to buy any bedding plants.
Salmon for tea (Good Friday but also I love fish!) with new potatoes, peas, broccoli and tomatoes. Decided to order a new cover for my four year old Kindle, what a carry on, no matter how detailed a search I make I end up with results that are wrong, they won't fit. Can't be bothered to trawl though thousands more.
Feeling pretty miserable today, I haven't spoken to anyone all day or yesterday, feeling so lonely. Had a conciliatory glass of wine. I know the answer isn't in the bottom of a glass, only had one. Tried to put it into perspective in relation to Louisa Maud's sad news.
