Quite a good day,I find Classic FM a real tonic, lovely music and singing along to that with which I am very familiar .
I realise now what a good music teacher we had ,those visits to The Halle -rehearsals? certainly not public performances .
I could recognise the Halle by a little extra phrase the French horn put in the National Anthem.
Cut and measured,- no the other way round - material for simple blinds in the utility room which is S W facing and like an oven.
Will be glad when machine is OK.
I will see if I can use the old one ,but it has lain unused for so long and is so heavy to lift I think it will have to stay in its cosy corner!
Bleached all the worktops, polished the black shiny doors of the kitchen units.
Did skirting boards behind hard to move furniture by using my “bad back
picky up stick “,and a damp soapy cloth.
Lay on the floor with vac extension and did under furniture.
Middle of the rooms no problem.
Must deadhead the roses bashed by the storms.
Watching the little Alpine strawberries, lots on the plants
but not ripe yet, would be nice if some were ready for the virtual tea party but with real cake!
Cream ordered from milk lady for scones ,maybe a chocolate cake
I like Victoria scones, vanilla flavouring and cherries on top of the pre baked marked out quarters.
Mild fairy sunny day.
Washed my hair and put rollers in, they do come in handy now no hairdresser visits.Head tied up in a cotton square scarf ,like a “ clooty dumpling”so not fit to be seen outside.
I will give it a blow with the dryer in a while,after another cuppa.
Some mail to open from almost a week ago.
One will be electric /gas statement as I had to send readings.
I am not depressed but do find tears come easily, just watched a documentary about a female bear and her cubs in the wild,stalked by a timber wolf .The cubs were delightful.
It didn’t get them but a few scary moments and the tears were there !
Well hairdryer time and face the world and tackle the garden.
Tesco delivery this evening 19 - 20 hrs.
Cheerio, big decision time though, Victoria sponge with strawberry jam and cream and perhaps the tiny strawberries or chocolate cake with black cherry jam and cream, scones with jam and cream or Victoria scones just buttered?
I think salmon sandwiches, got some smoked salmon coming ,or tinned.?
I will ask my neighbour’s daughter if she feels it OK for her to have a Tea forOne tray,like my Birthday treat .
I usually take her some of whatever I have baked , but not since Lockdown.
She won’t sit in her garden but will appreciate it.
Cheerio .
Viktoria.
