Finally done for the day. Too tired to work on my painting. At least I won't need to cook later, as I made a lovely vegetable and chorizo pasta bake yesterday, plus I have the soup that is currently simmering away.

Have just sat down with a and a banana. Goodness that stupid bloody banana tastes soooooooo goood. Until Friday night, I hadn't been able to get any for three weeks. It's odd that it's the simple things in life that seem to matter more right now. Who thought I'd be waxing lyrical about a humble banana...

Spoke too soon: it appears there wasn't much garlic.

I can crank up my trebuchet as I bought a load in Tesco on Friday. People here don't seem to use much in the way of garlic. Their loss, my gain.

Failing fresh, can the mrs get dried garlic granules? It's a good standby to keep in the cupboard.

If we all eat lots of raw Garlic, that's social distancing sorted!

That's precisely my approach.

Mind, I loooooove garlic.

Can't say, I've never tried it that way. It *is* pretty pungent, though...

I got Babylon 5 today - every episode plus specials.

Despite always being a sci-fi fan, especially all Star Trek series and Stargate, etc. I've never seen an episode of Babylon 5 (yet)

You know, you can plant cloves of garlic and they make a whole bulb. I think they plant in the fall, but in your area, they may be a perennial crop.

I have to admit, I'm appreciating the reduction in social pressure due to social distancing: it's like being an introvert suddenly became acceptable.

Speaking of, I just planted seeds for Roma( sauce ) tomatoes in little peat pots, in small transparent storage boxes, so they are safe from harm of wind and cold. Couple dozen plants. They are going to letting but 10 people in the Wal-Mart at a time, I think I was one of the last to get in as a part of the general open range herd.

Apparently the sun has gone into self isolation, at 92 million miles, after a large eruption from its Corona , and following government advice. It now won’t be seen for 7 days.

I won't let the sun go down on me!
