Yesterday as I made my way into town to do some shopping I had to make a detour around the homestore car park because the tree surgeons were working on some of the trees. I thought they were pollarding some of them again as they have done in the past but I was gutted when I came back to find that they had sawn down the pussy willow (or pussy whistle as Eden called it one day). It is such a shame because the buds were just beginning to open so now I won't be able to enjoy the show anymore in the spring.
It was an eventful morning too because when I got to the checkout in Tesco one of the wheels came off my shopping trolley and rolled around the floor. I caught it and put it back on but it came off for a second time. The cashier waited patiently for me to fix it and asked me if I would like some bags 'in case'. I told her that hopefully the weight would keep the wheel on until I got home and if I had further problems I could always try the RAC especially as I had just paid my subscription! Anyway, I got home without any more problems and when I checked the wheels they were both fine and wouldn't come off so the kick I gave them in Tesco obviously worked.
Then last night I tried a couple of the aduki bean burgers that I made last weekend and put in the freezer. They can be cooked from frozen in the oven and although I enjoyed them with some salad there was a little something missing so I will tweak the recipe until I get it exactly how I want it.
Today I've spent a lot of time reading but as it was quite pleasant this afternoon I went out into the garden and watered my pots with the pansies in and also watered the herbs. I think I will have to get some new herbs this year because mine seem to be very pot bound. The hyacinths have opened their flowers this week and the wonderful perfume fills the air now that it is a bit warmer. There is also a bud showing on one of my climbing roses but I noticed there are a few greenfly on it too so I will have to give it a squirt with the washing up liquid.
