Sunday, July 13

The weather forecasters seem to have entered a period of professional confusion. Every day this week they have promised one thing and we have got another. Mostly what we have got has proved a lot worse than what we expected.

Today it worked the other way round. We expected continuous rain with thunder, and we got continuous sunshine with bird song and bees.

I did the vacuuming that we didn’t do yesterday before I went outside, trimmed a tree and photographed the dahlias.

Then the three of us did things in the garden until the sun eventually slipped behind the trees.
