2nd August 2025 A quiet joy
A quiet joy – allotment visit and a bit of edging of the plot, some watering. And we have signs of life….. the plug plants have yet to die, spinach, pak choi and bush beans seem to be appearing. Add some oregano into the mix. Meet a few other allotment holders as I’m leaving. Think the whole early thing works for me but isn’t the most social of options.
Home and a shop with C, nip for a coffee along the way and a beer on the way back.

I forgot I owned this… the trolley token from the Nationwide goodie bag.
Something Soft well it was bound to be Elsie. GPs this morning where my blood refuses to flow.
Wednesday and things get a bit better. Struggling with the old mental health a but work helps. Glimmer 2 see’s me at the open air gallery in town. People apparently Mek Wigan.
Sunday and I’m in… at least there is Pizza. Phone the boy and Mum as usual, watch the Throw Down and Call the Midwife. More importantly home to meal cooked by C including dumplings. Love ’em!
Well the soda bread experiment was a monumental failure.
Word for 2023, obviously optimism lurks somewhere inside me, or am I trying to hide in plain sight. Could just be a simple response to a prompt I’m not that keen on.
