I haven't even got the garden prepared for seeding and already I have the first casualty,the bright yellow daffodil was horizontal and broken this morning,a very short life for a pretty flower.







Going back to yesterday's subject of living alone there is something Ellen cannot understand about my life. I often sit here nice quietly with no radio or TV blasting away,I love the peacefulness,Ellen on the other hand needs a constant barrage of sound,she will have the TV on ( in her room I hasten to add ) without even watching it which I find as strange as she does my silence. I think this shows I am more content with life.

It is still the season of one pot wonders here,today is chicken casserole which is a nice dish whatever the weather. I think tomorrow might be a find it and eat it day, no set plans or real cooking just grab what you want when you want it maybe I'll have a stir fry with odds and ends left over. I don't know if Ellen eats like this,if not it's time she did.
