Not when the temperature is only 5 degrees. It was that at the beginning of February, it's now the end of April. There'll be no asparagus for us for at least a couple of weeks, if then. Pity that, we both love our asparagus.. she eats it hot with a bit of good olive oil and a few chilli flakes or proper hollandaise.
But neither of us turn our nose or beak up at cold asparagus.. when we can get hold of it.. but it isn't even in sight yet.
She had lunch with Ann today, her lovely daughter-in-law came to have lunch with Roy bringing his youngest grand-daughter, Roy had a stroke on Easter Monday followed by another mini one about two weeks later. Today was the first time that Ann had left him, the lovely d-i-l said "Go and get your hair cut, have lunch with your friend, we'll give Roy lunch and stay until you come back". Very nice.
Ann also has an asparagus bed and said that theirs' was only showing a few spears but that it was very late and she grows a much earlier variety than ours.
She walked with Ann through the older bit of Pimlico, it hasn't changed much, not like the back of Victoria Station where everything old has gone, all it is now is just a faceless glass and metal bunch of buildings.
And called into see an friend who works in a charity shop in Wilton Row, coming out with a brand new Chico linen blouse, she likes this brand and likes it even more as she only had to pay £6.00! She knows their sizing and knew that it would fit, she didn't even have to try it on. Perfect.
And came home to find a wonderful email from the local dept of Environmental Health! Oh yes, very happy days! The officer wrote that she has found exactly what she was looking (praying) for and that she can go to the office and collect copies of everything that she wants at the beginning of the week after next. Ahha.. HeeHee..
Not much else to report, she has to go to see Doctor Katherine tomorrow morning for prescriptions, and onto Balham, why? Who knows? Then onto Borough Market for goaty supplies, we're almost out of Kefir as she forgot to get goats milk when she had lunch wih Debbie last Friday and the state of curd pot is pretty dire, you can see the bottom of the tub!
I'm still being naughty and nibbling my feathers but so far, haven't pulled any of my tumtums' new feather shafts out, I suppose you might day that I am over preening, not a good look. Ah well, at least I know I was beautiful.. once upon a time..
GeeGee Parrot.
