Friday and I wake late again, much to my annoyance. It would be okay if I felt refreshed, but I do not. I do eventually get up and cook pizza for brunch and down my morning meds. After pizza I book a Tesco slot and throw a few things into the basket. To my surprise I can get a slot on Easter Monday! My partner returns from visiting her mother in her new rehab facility. Things will be slow over the Easter period so we will have to see how things go. I do the days crosswords and then my partner and I head out for a drink.

I drive to a local garden centre where my partner and I have a drink and then my partner buys pots of sweet peas to be brought on in the mini greenhouse. I collect a big bag of peanuts to keep our squirrel fed. When I get to the checkout I find out how much of a luxury peanuts now are for the squirrel. The cost has soared over the last few months. I am afraid that once this bag of peanuts has gone then he is on his own, nature will have to provide. On the drive back we realise that there is some weekend food shopping to be done. So our journey continues to another garden centre that has our favourite butchers in it. The butchers does not let us down and we buy our main meals for the Easter break. On the journey home I top up my petrol tank at a garage that had cheaper prices than the other local garage. I now have 400 plus miles in the tank that should last beyond the Iran war.

Back home the car gets unloaded and the sweet peas are found a space in the mini greenhouse. I gather up the escaped table cover and stow it in the writing hut. I then retreat to the sofa and start drafting the blog and adding things to the Tesco order for Monday. My partner cooks some of the goodies we brought back from the butchers and we then settle into catching up with some of the TV series we have missed. Hopefully a quiet evening before once again I take my night meds and get to bed for a nights sleep.
