The market was quite large and very crowded today. We saw Caroline Grassette there, she who hosts the AWG Cook & Eat. I introduced her to Roger. She was buying cheese and made a recommendation which was quite good. We bought olives for the first time - two different kinds. One is a pitted olive which I plan to stuff with cream cheese. The other is pitted as well, stuffed with dried tomatoes. I also bought some sprouts - two different kinds. The guy selling them has about 10 different kinds - I didn’t know there were so many!
This afternoon I went to the English book shop to buy Cutting for Stone, the AWG book club selection for Friday. I have almost 600 pages to cover by then. Should be a snap if I could let Evony go. I am addicted to an on-line game. Sigh.
I bought some daffodil stick-ons for decorating our door and stairwell. I am trying to spruce up the place a bit and to get out twice every day, both of which will lift my mood and help with the depression. Man, I hate writing about this depression. But I hate having it even more! I have had it enough times to understand a lot about how to manage it, even though I have no medication. Today was sunny and bright and almost warm - into the high teens Celsius. I was overdressed in my lined sweater and scarf this morning, so I went out in just a cardigan for a wrap this afternoon and was quite comfortable. The warmth and sunshine help. The longer days will help, too. The tulips will help, as will the new décor, for a while. Then it becomes ordinary! Sigh.
We fixed three pots of tea today. Nothing from the tea goddess. She may be lurking in the shadows.
I broke my low-carb “code” today - I used some golden syrup (1 teaspoon!) in an endive recipe. For two weeks now, no sugar, honey, syrup, flour, rice or pasta have passed my lips.
