It was 18 degrees earlier this week.. but it wasn't anywhere like that temperature today. She dropped books off at the library, climbed aboard a 319 bus and trundled off to Streatham High Street. For our sauerkraut pot was almost empty and there was no IshPol to be seen.
Sensibly, she had taken a scarf with her and when she got off the bus.. oooh.. it went over her head and around her neck very swiftly for it was chilly-billy up there on the hill. She bought two lock-tight boxes and went off to Bartek. She filled one with sauerkraut and went to the check-out, they weighed the empty one and then the one with the sauerkraut, "£2.60 worth of sauerkraut" said Kasia.
Perfect.. this will now go into the post to Lorraine in Somerset who is having a problem with her digestion, all manner of things fermented help and sauerkraut helps reallyreally well! We have just telephoned her and a very small voice answered.. oh dear, she's in bed with a beastly sinus infection.. poor love.
Luckily her tiny cottage is warm and she has nice neighbours, mama will send her cloves and organic sesame oil on Monday, organic sesame oil is the only oil you should put up your nose, it is extremely good at helping impacted sinuses and cloves and ginger and garlic are a great tea to drink as they have strong anti-viral properties but her tumtum cannot take garlic, however, she has lots of ginger, so we'll send her the oil and a bag of cloves. This will save anyone having to go out to get them.
The old campaign desk that she inherited from Constance has no keys, she's tried all the ones she was given by her mother but this one's obviously missing.. presumed lost. On her way to the library, she called in at the cleaners who used to be next door to Flury the locksmiths in Chelsea Manor Street.
"They went a few years ago, but I've got Dans' telephone number if you would like it" said the nice woman.. yippee.. Dan WAS the lockmaker, he has looked at a photo of the little lock that she sent him this afternoon and quoted £20.00! Brilliant.
She's off to drop two pots of IshPol to goaty mum tomorrow at Parsons' Green Farmers' Market and will give her a pot of soup as well. With kids not sticking to a birthing daytime schedule of 09.00 - 17.00 hours, this kidding lark is tiring and a day in the life of goaty mum can be 24 hours long, so having something nutrious you can heat up in a minute has to be a good thing.
IshPol? IshPol is eaten straight out of the pot with the largest spoon possible by IshPol addicts!
We have just read about snow in the UK, so she wasn't imagining that snow up in Streatham! Good thing she had stuff to do and didn't go to the allotment.. for it was raining hard when she got back to the Kings Road at 16.30pm.. it would have been far colder out there being so close to the river.. Brass Monkeys!
We wonder how BUBs' Murder Mystery supper is going? Frncesca, his sister-in-law, has organised it for tonight with family and friends to celebrate his birthday which was last week. Hope they let us know.. we like a good mystery.
We also like a good novel and she'll tell you about a good twisty tale that she's reading today, a non gardening book by her favourite gardener.. Mr. Alan Titchmarsh.. more tomorrow about his book set up in Scotland but for now, it's ByeBye from us as it is fast approaching my bewitching hour.
And we are desperately hoping that people are safe in Japan (because of the earthquakes), namely our dear Dear Reader Karen who is there on a two week train-trip and dear Dear Reader Rosamunds' daughter, who lives there.
GeeGee Parrot.
