Fish supper,purple beans and dreaming of cake

It’s a very rare rare thing when I can say it’s a Tuesday and I’ve not done a thing food shopping wise online, this is my second week, so far I’ve survived ok…., I hunt down odd scraps of food at the back of the freezer ,fridge or food cupboard, ….last night I found a box of battered frozen fish lurking suspiciously , I dragged it out of its hiding place,( ready to kill it if need,s be) but when I poked it at a distance with a fork, there I ascertained it was indeed very dead, i slapped it on my foil lined baking tray and waited twenty minutes while it cooked, I was unsure how old the fish was and couldn’t actually remember when I bought if I’m truthful, ( but it was frozen still, sort of )(and not glowing luminous green) so I shrugged my shoulders and hoped for the best,

This my friends is one dangerous game ( do not try this at home) specially if your stomachs like mine( I pray no one’s anywhere is like mine though) …it cooked, smelt ok ( this being the age old method of testing of course) ,( here,s a little thought, can you imagine cave men walking up to dinosaurs legs sniffing them before their kill, don’t think that would end well 😁, ( I add my fish to some plain rice , spinach and a wilted bowing spring onion I gathered from my cupboard then settle down to eat it! ( all be it a tad nervously) ….for Dessert we had an apple, (by the saying of we I’m not getting all posh on you) I mean myself and my Desert island bunny buddy, he never lets me eat alone, that said, it’s a good job his vegetarian because I think even he would have given the fish course a miss…

Earlier today I had a Narn bread I was given weeks ago, I dripped a few drops of water on it, threw it in the microwave for a few seconds and it was soft again and like new, I made a dip of Greek yogurt, mint, I would like to say finely chopped cucumber but it was just chunks , (I’m dangerous with sharp objects , . This was a tasty lunch and kept the hunger at bay, I washed it down with two large mugs of hot coffee was happily full,

I’m not sure how long I will be content with my isolation on Bungalow island and indeed more importantly how long my food, milk, coffee and sparkling water supplies are going to hold out,. already I’ve noticed that things are looking rather sparse, That said Cinnamon has enough food to feed a large bunny colony, including treats ….( But for now it’s an interesting experience and maybe one day of some great scientific interest lol) who knows, I struggle at times with the loneliness, especially late at night, it’s quiet , well kind of, except for my elderly neighbour who tends to bang about next door , ( at one stage I was convinced he was building a staircase to the non existent upstairs, but this is just the way my sleep deprived brain works right, maybe it’s a space Rocket ?) but apart from him, the odd fighting cat , sounds of traffic it’s spookily quiet, and with that hush my mind runs free, ( I mean it’s always been a bit wild, a handful and I’ve had to chase after it on the odd occasions, but in the deathly quiet darkness, just you and the many room,s of your mind for company, it’s one very long night,

I’ve decided to be proactive though, and over the last few days I’ve scrawled a kind of garden map as to where I’m going to plant out some flowers, more important though fruit and veggies, ( ok I wouldn’t win any awards for architecture or road mapping, .it looks like some lines with circles, names like sticky half dead bush, large freaky prickly bush thing, Bush thing with a bud on , very dead tree plant,,. Not sure yet wether to break out my crayons and pencils and colour it in , but for now this seems above my head and way too ambitious, …Jesse bought me some Green beans seeds called lady Di, plus for the sheer novelty factor these climbing purple beans, the green ones do come with instructions at least, where as the puple seeds it’s all going to be guess work, good job I know some about gardening, (like you have to dig holes and plant things and which way up the go, but first grow them in small pots) I can do this right?,

I intend to grow strawberries, herbs, anything basically I can acquire the seeds for, it’s hard at the moment , what with Covid and lockdown . I’m nothing if not stubborn and will find a way , tonight,s supper will be pea and ham soup , not so sure how much ham is in this , but yes it’s certainly pea green, kind of like pond algae , moves like it too funny enough, but I shall be fed until bedtime ,where hopefully my night mares will be replaced by dreams of large slices of rampent cream cake, scones, iced buns, or generously topped cheese cake….sighs …anyway take care my friends and stay safe out there xx
