Apple

Rain, rain, and more rain! Not even tempted to go for a walk today, though I did venture as far as the post box with our applications for postal votes. The council sent out application forms, and it seemed a good idea to apply given the circumstances.

The van was booked in to the garage in Alnwick for today, to have the damaged back door replaced. But we had a phone call first thing from a very apologetic guy, who who informed us that said door hasn’t arrived as expected. It’s - surprise surprise - in transit, but stuck on a lorry somewhere. New appointment made for a couple of weeks’ time, they’ll contact us if it still hasn’t made it across the Channel. Brexit - the gift that keeps on giving. Or not!

The tiny (compare with the 5p piece) wooden apple was a birthday gift from a talented friend, who “whittles” in her spare time. It’s kept on the dresser next to the small vase, which was brought back from Greece by another friend, many years ago.
