A dark overcast miserable day here in the North West,not cold though ,just moderate.Had some light showers but nothing much.
My few figs are darkening ,when black I shall eat them.
Woken at five this morning by a “ domestic “
—— four squabbling magpies ,what a raucous racket!
They were pecking at the roofing felt on my son’s utility room roof ,not sure what there was for them.
I do hope it is a brighter day tomorrow.
I think schools break up in about two weeks, then Flash Harry and family will be up here with all the clothes I left at my daughter’s so I could travel light .
Son took it down as he went by car,I can’t do that anymore ,train is more convenient—— literally! But I can’t manage the luggage , so grandson will bring it up -only clean and unworn things left.I always take far too many clothes with me and wash socks and undies each day so nothing left needing washing.
However he had to go on to Head Office so came home via Birmingham and called in on an old Uni friend as son is Godfather to friend’s daughter.
Well hope all are alright , given we know many are being stoical.
Cheerio folks ,look after yourselves.
Viktoria.
