DAFFODIL

We had sunshine today and whilst it couldn't be termed as warm it was milder than it has been lately. The kitties have spent a lot of time outdoors - Lily especially - she loves to watch the birds.

I popped down to the village this afternoon as I had something to post. It was a form for the Council to tell them Neil had moved out and applying for a 25% discount on my Council Tax now that I am a single occupant. I also went to the cashpoint. Whenever I get money out I usually get a mini statement to check there has been no " suspicious activity". Well this time there was something which gave me a bit of a shock. A direct debit of £693 which I didn't recognise. So I hot footed it inside the bank to check with a cashier. She looked at her records and told me that the withdrawal was made by " St James Park". Well that was a relief - it was the money for my Newcastle United season ticket which I had forgotten was due to come out of my account. I said to the cashier " That's fine - at least I haven't been robbed! ". She gave me a look which insinuated she thought that having a Newcastle United season ticket was akin to being robbed.

I am not doing this month's Forum Challenge so I had to think of a blip all on my own. Decided to go for a daffodil in my garden. The daffs have been late this year and have only just opened up fully.

Yellow yellow daffodil, dancing in the sun..
oh yellow , yellow daffodil, you tell me spring has come.
I can hear a blue bird sing, and hear a robin call.
but yellow yellow daffodil I love you most of all.
