My hyacinth blooms have gone over, so they are in the greenhouse until they die back, knowing I would have my hand painted pot empty, I got a new spider plant, Lilly shredded my other plant, it can stay here for now.
The first amaryllis bloom had died back, this second stem has one large opened bud and two smaller ones. The smaller of the pots is another new bulb this year, both bulbs were purchased from our garden centre neither cheap, this second bulb is not growing, the other pots is a bulb from last year, both bulbs only has leaves growing.
I popped to our village library, I have not been for a while, I took my address book with all the book titles I have read, I stopped going as I found the choice of books I liked limiting, things have not changed, to order books in cost a £1 per title. The bottom book is an author I have read before, no a favourite, the top two are new authors to me,
This book follows on with AI, this time in self drive cars, the government now wants everyone to drive level 5 cars, no brakes or controls, there are less accidents and congestion, our main lady hates these cars, refuses to use them after seeing a horrible accident which killed a mother, daughter and grand daughter. She is on service much like jury service, to discuss accidents and who was at fault, so far it's never the car, it's a farce until The Hacker takes over. Another tongue in cheek plot, again another good story, it's about the people not the cars. Book 13 read this year
Wednesday was a day at home, morning doing housework, the sun shone weakly for an hour, I have started my new knitted blanket, which I am enjoying. Thursday we went to the local huge Tesco superstore, its been months since we have been there, we have stocked up on bits we can't get at Lidl, including free from eggs for little ones Easter egg hunt.
Today it's MOT for our car, we have everything crossed it does not cost too much, we are not aware of any issues, we will have a wonder around town whilst the car is in the garage, nothing planned for afterwards. I have my WI meeting tonight as well.




I only realised the other day that it is half-term in the next couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteHalf term is next week here, I'm looking forward to days with our three youngest grandchildren, they will be here for pancakes.
DeleteIs the bottom book by Karin Slaughter? I really don't mind her novels at all.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I do read her, but not my first choice.
DeleteOur library requests are free, thankfully as I have been requesting ten recently. I wouldn't want to be paying a £1 a book.
ReplyDeleteOur library is run by our county, they used to swap books regularly, these days our small branch does not get so many new books. So to request one has a admin cost.
DeleteHope your cars MOT went well.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend, lets hope we see some sunshine!
All the best Jan
I read a John Banville novel years ago called "The Sea," which won the Booker prize. I didn't dislike it but I don't really remember it either.
ReplyDeleteI'd be bankrupt if our library charged a deposit. I order loads of books... all free.
ReplyDeleteI love a spider plant, and my own is about to have some babies.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the farm shop we visit has loads up high in the cafe area. I'm not sure how they reach up to water them. Xx
