🧄There was just enough garlic left to make focaccia.

🌤️It was a mild and pleasant day and we sat outside the cafe to eat lunch.

🆘 We were able to be of help when someone dining near us had a medical emergency. (All was ok in the end!)

🥾 I found some new shoes to buy.

📮Putting a letter in the post box, a strangely nostalgic feeling. There will (probably) be a last time I do this and I guess I won’t remember it, just like I have no idea when I last used a phone box, so I’m remembering this time.

📧 Sending an email. So easy and yet I’ve been putting this one off for months. Thinking about why I’ve been putting it off and coming to the conclusion that it won’t be that bad. Also, got an out of office reply so it’s still put off for another day!

✉️Tidied up the hall and threw away the junk mail and leaflets. Thinking that perhaps my musings on the death of the postal system are premature.

🧦 Washing was hung out on the line for the first time this year.

🌧️ Ok, there was an unforecast rain shower and it didn’t actually get fully dry, but spring is acumen in.

📚My office shelves are tidier than they were, which isn’t tidy but is better all the same.
