……..and a bit of Jupiter, of course.
Once more, the moon is shining so brightly into our home that it feels like we should be outside playing outside in the garden. Jupiter too, has been making its appearance for the last few days and there it still is, a little further away from the moon now, but still very visible. Marvellous. Exciting.
In other news, we were up betimes this morning waiting for the shopping delivery at 7.30 a.m. Naturally, I’d ordered loads of stuff but there is always something you forget isn’t there? “Did you order any of the Paleo breakfast cereal (with no cereal!)?” John asked. “Oh….. no, I forgot that!” I exclaimed. There’s mountains of everything else, but not that. Darn it!
It took forever to put the shopping away. John abandoned ship half way through and went off to take his medication and have a shower – sensible chap – and left me to it. Just a modicum of re-arranging one’s cupboards required…..
John was busy on the computer this morning but I felt like I needed a breath of fresh air and threatened to go out for a walk. The walk never transpired, but I did get out into the garden and planted a root of horseradish that Pete had donated to me yesterday. Will it survive? We’ll see. Will I remember what it is when it comes up next year? Hope so! Will John think it’s a weed? Maybe….. but fingers crossed we have something harvestable next year! I love a bit of creamed horseradish with my beef, don’t you?
This afternoon we had the pleasure of babysitting Oliver for the very first time. Danielle was taking Thomas to a speech therapy group this afternoon and so left the baby with us. It was delightfully easy. He slept all afternoon and only woke up a nanosecond before Danielle walked back in through the door. John, too, slept like a baby this afternoon and only woke up when Danielle walked in through the door too! Hehehe!
Take care everyone. God bless.
Hehe yes, marvellous, exciting indeed. On receipt of this evening’s chronicle I surprised Oscar by joining him in the garden when he was let out for his nightime pee – the moon truly majestic tonight, everything sublunary either bathed in silver or slashed with dark shadow and, once I was out of the lee of our tree, there Jupiter gazed down in solitary splendour like a platinum laser. Thanks for the appreciated tip off Anne, and love to you and John. Simon xxx
Well, I’m glad you enjoyed the view Simon!! Nice to know we enjoyed the skies together!! Sending love to you both🤗
