Thursday March 5th - a day of gentle content (on the whole..)

 Enough sun to stir the solar fountain into life! (Taken from inside the house)

Today has mostly been a calm contented, happy cheerful day, unruffled by the cares of life... (except where they snuck in round the edges, to be acknowledged, agreed with, and sent on their way) 

So two lovely moments. The first piece is a favourite of mine, the second popped up like an enthusiastic labrador emerging from a thicket of shrubs...

Coming From the Fountain - Granados - such a contentment in the music... Leonard Kim playing.

Chico Marx back in 1940  - another happy happy tune!

Yesterday I deleted 200 photographs, almost all duplicates, and things that were no longer of interest. Hooray!

Yesterday was lovely and sunny; back to Nymans gardens in the afternoon. I walked twice as far with half the after-aches as last week. If I can keep this up I shall definitely feel the benefits soon. 

Today I bundled a few bits of decent clothing for charity into a bag and left it out for collection- Hooray! If I'm sticking to my resolution of 2 bags of stuff donated per month, I've another 5 to go before the end of March. It's all piled up ready to go, I just need to finish the job.

We would have gone out again today, but the oxygen situation wasn't suitable - somehow I ended up with three cylinders each less than a quarter full, ie 10-15 minutes walking time, plus two full ones. The rest were empties. Bad planning! I've ordered replacements for tomorrow, and just used up the part cylinders in the garden - a bit of tidying, and refilling bird feeders, and just wandering around looking. A couple of tulips are suggesting that they might flower quite soon. Meanwhile the bigger daffodils are flowering, ready to follow on from the smaller tete-a-tete.
