It seems to have been a long month in some respects and a short one in others.
Today poor Humza went down to the Job Centre to see what they had for an unemployed former First Minister. Poor man. Because he resigned, he won’t get any unemployment benefit. Seriously though, the sharks are circling now, sensing blood in the water. Who’ll be first to grab the sword of Damocles?
We put these things behind us and went for the messages. Traditionally it’s a job for a Monday, but as I was out with the boys yesterday, it became a Tuesday job for a change. No change at Tesco, still no ’Real’ rolls. What it going on with the world when there are no rolls to be found in Tesco. No ‘Well Fired’ ones and no ‘Ordinary’ ones. This has to be the new first minister’s duty, to find out what’s going on at Roll-gate!
Back home and after a piece ’n’ flat sausage for me and some French toast for Scamp, I started again at the never ending job of refilling the bookcase upstairs. Meanwhile Scamp was out doing some weeding. I ended up with a sore back and I’m sure Scamp was the same. But at least the garden was looking a bit brighter and we were finding places for books and stuff to go in the bedroom. Tomorrow I’m hoping to meet Alex for a walk and a blether and I’ll also be taking some books to the Oxfam shop.
Dinner tonight was Haddock and Prawns with Fennell and Leek. A fairly easy recipe that all happens in one pot. Fiddly in places, but basically you just bung things in as you go along. It worked fine, as it usually does.
PoD was a pink tulip from the garden. Sitting up proud and bouncing around in the breeze. It was actually warm today, noticeably warm for a change. It must be spring right enough!
That was about it for the day. Tomorrow a fairly early rise to get the train in to Glasgow.
