monday 3rd May 2010

first of all, let me explain that the left shift key is malfunctioning at the moment, and so sometimes there are capital letters, sometimes not.

It's not my bad typing.

Probably.

And so, bank holiday monday. May day. rain and sunny intervals. a walk in the woods. a trip to the diy shop. and more harry Potter. Film four in the series, Harry Potter and the strange urges.

The rain did fall from the sky this morning, and so any plans to go any distance was put on hold. or the truth is that i lazed in bed until gone eight, and then had breakfast, messed around online and then we couldn't decide what to do.

so, we went to visit jools's family. which is my family too; anyway, the dutiful stuff out of the way, we headed to waldershare, which is a village nearby, for a walk in the woods.

springtime means the wild garlic is in bloom. Or should have been, it's a couple of weeks late this year, but the wood was full of the smell of garlic, and walking through it, released more pungent smell. i bent down and took a leaf and had a nibble. wonderful fresh garlic, and strong enough for it to last all afternoon. and scattered through the garlic was bluebells, contrasting with the white blooms just coming out of the garlic.

and time to go to B&Q for some canes for our beans which are sprouting in pots out in the back garden.

and so back home for early dinner of kiev with lots of salad, and then settle down for Harry Potter.

And back to work on the morrow.

Such is life.
