Thunder and
lightening,whatever next?The trip to the shops we had planned was
cancelled,Pa slept for most of the afternoon ,waking only to drink a
cup of tea or coffee. My son made a start on his next writing project
and I set about trying to work out how to send attachment by
computer, and what a pesky old business it is.
A have an on line
acquaintance to whom I wished to send some pictures of my garden, and
I picture of the mystery spider which is still lurking in the
downstairs loo to a friend who has a degree in Bugology. I hope it is
rare enough to make him come and get the blessed thing....even the
cats hiss at it whenever it appears.
By the afternoon the
rain have become torrential and both cats sat in their respective
corners of the room (they are still not speaking) looking extremely
glum.
In spite of this we all
felt happy in the fact that we are together and that for once my son
would not be leaving the house at nine in the middle of a cloud burst
to go to work. I am becoming concerned about the garden though,I
really do need to move the roses and redcurrant bush, the wine berry
and the loganberry before too long, the walled garden needs attention
and the front garden,where most of the herbs grow will have to be
completely remodelled if am to grow any veg this year.
Dinner,later than usual
due to my son's writing schedule was a very forgiving pork casserole
which included squash ans sweet potato as well as the usual winter
vegetables. Roast potatoes finished the meal. I would have preferred
mash to go with all the lovely gravy but The roasties were requested
and I was happy to oblige.
Evenings are lovely
now,no scrabbling about to get out in time for work. No more worry
about my son getting mugged again. No more hurried meal,we are off
the treadmill at last! My thankfulness for this is boundless,and
weather my son's books are a success or not,and I have every
confidence they will be,he is at least free form the pitiful tyranny
of ….....perhaps I had better see what the Levinson report says?
