Another wet day
In the morning we went shopping. Nothing exciting, just a wander round Tesco. They seem to be digging up different areas of the Tesco car park every day we to there now. It appears to be connected to drainage that’s got them excited this time. Actually, it’s just a big pain in the backside working out where we can drive and where we can’t. Maybe one day soon it will all make sense … maybe!
With the shopping done and a quick lunch, we settled we settled down to read or to complete today’s puzzles in Wordle. I kept looking out the window to see if the rain had stopped, or at least reduced, but it was just the usual wet day Monday outside.
Finally I gave up and rearranged the shelf in the downstairs toilet to give me something to photograph. The ‘something’ in question was an unused egg box that has six chitting potatoes in it. In case you don’t know, Chitting is a method of preparing potatoes or other tubers for planting. Usually it’s done in a cool place with good light to encourage the tubers to sprout before planting. This gives them a head start for an earlier and higher yield when harvest time comes around. After a bit of work, I was satisfied with the photo and it got PoD.
Kirsty’s class was the same as last week, a Waltz. I don’t think Kirsty was impressed when nobody seemed to remember a single word she had said last week and the first half of the class was a lecture about what we were all doing wrong. We are a strange group who pay £10 every week for someone to shout at us for an hour.
The torture eventually came to an end and we were free to go. A shared bowl of Giovanni Rana Mushroom and Mascarpone Tortelloni washed down with a glass of red while we watched Mastermind and University Challenge was our prize for getting the first part of the waltz almost correct.
Tomorrow I expect we’ll have more rain 🙁.
