Murky Monday...

Not a nice day to wake up to today at all. Quite grey and drizzly and nothing much doing at all. Nothing growing yet, and certainly no signs of the green shoots of recovery. The little cat next door VT says went out for about five minutes then hung around waiting to be let in again. Even though the house is cold it's better than being outside i suppose. Our two have been out very little, they both know which side their bread is buttered on.
We went out to Crosby to get our weekly things.The fields on the way are still very soggy looking, with a few "lakes" jere and there.Noticed the book bus in Little crosby as we passed through, I wonder how long they will keep that going for? It comes to our village on a Saturday morning, and it doesn't seem to get many people visiting it. I used to use it a lot when Jane was small, but we tend to go to the big one in Waterloo now, and renew our books online too. We don't go to the library that often nowadays, because we tend to get a load of books out, and that keeps us going for ages.
I remember the days when I used to go to the library on a Saturday morning on the train, and get three books out of the children's section. If you got a new "Famous Five" that you hadn't read, oh the thrill of it. You used to be able to get three fiction and one non fiction book, and the non fiction was always something you didn't really want. I would much rather have had another Secret Seven book. We never had bought books in our house..books were obtained from the library, and that was it. Completely changed now of course, the house is full of books.
Tonight we are having:
Mozzarella nd pesto escalope
Baby baked potatoes
Roasted squash and sweet potato
Mushroom sauce.
