I had this growing Christmas Eve feeling today – I am supposed to get my first doorstep milk delivery tomorrow. And with it comes a wonderful world of “extras”. What the extras are is still to be seen – the milk company web site is not the best – loads of broken pages. But as long as the milk comes I’ll be happy. So there I am getting all excited about a pint of milk, just like waiting for Santa to .
On top of that I managed to get a delivery slot from Tesco (for May). So I can now order 3 packs of every type of toilet roll. Not really – but May was my expected refill time so I did order one pack.
It is amazing how quickly the non-human world is adapting to the new normal. I was standing at my door today when a bird came and landed less than a social distance away. As I watched it moved closer and closer picking up worms to eat. It seemed to have no fear of me. Then it flew up to a nearby bush where it fed a young chick.
I’ve also looked out my Zoom recorder (not the same thing as Zoom video), which I intend using to record my vinyl. It also happens to work well as a good quality microphone for Zoom video calls.
I planted another 30 onions (that makes 70 in total). Two of my chili plants have survived the winter and are already producing – I hadn’t spotted them flowering till this week, but when I looked closer several had already set and some had even ripened.
For some reason a lot of films that I like were shown today, including “As good as it gets”, where the song playing now is “Always look on the bright side of life”.
Zombieland Rule 32 – Enjoy the Little Things.
Today was a good day.
Merry Christmas
