Edgy

Josh and Sebby worked most of Sunday to finish the final raised bed. Everything is starting to grow so I’m hoping the bare soil will be well covered soon. Yesterday evening a retired couple I’d met dog walking came for drinks. They’d lived all over the world including in Sudan and Egypt so I invited my friend Patricia who described her trip overland with her 10 year old son from Addis in Ethiopia, through Sudan then Libya and from Italy through Europe. Incredible to think that her plan B had been to go through Syria. Both Syria and Libya being peaceful countries a decade ago. It was a lovely evening and Juno was thrilled to have their huge golden retriever pup as a guest. Lots of spaniel silliness ensued.

I had something of a headache today - the wine had flowed perhaps a bit too freely last night. We all relaxed in the garden in our shady corners.
