I'm already excited about spring and being able to work in the garden which I talk about here. Next week I'll be tutoring a couple of the grandchildren during the week, making sure they do their assigned homework as the local school has been shut down due to covid. This Sunday my stepdaughter is coming over to show me how to make pasties the way she does. It's been close to 50 years since the last time I made them so I'd say I'm a bit rusty.
