Threatened to do the back fence. Got the tools out. Ended up weeding and other garden chores. Plus mooching about the house. Evening wander in the village, up to the old derelict house to take a film snap of the dead bits of hogweed spied earlier in the week.

Friend phoned regarding identifying Chanterelles. I recognise them - there are loads about here - but giving some (guaranteed safe) identification tips over the phone? Well I wasn't much help.
