I love this time of year with lots of plants growing on my bedroom window sill.
I got to my parents today and was greeted with an overwhelming burning smell, Mum had put a microwave dinner on for 15 minutes instead of 5, apparently there was lots of smoke, but Mum's dementia means she has no sense of smell. I calmed that storm and went home and cooked dinner with Harry. then Mum phoned again in tears to say she had seen a mouse, so I went back and emptied out the big cupboard under the stairs  and cleaned or threw away most of the contents. I gave Dad the task of setting the mouse traps,  one of which he let go of on my finger, a mouse wouldn't stand a chance. Staggered back in the dark at bed time.
