After

Sat around in Em’s back garden while the sun climbed ever higher. Ailsa heads back to her flat and then returns. Still no sign of Em or the Bannermans. Eventually, I saddle up my steer and head into the midday sun.

At home I pause to eat and power nap before getting the outdoor alliums in. There’s still plenty of irrigation to do - and roots to plant - but at least there’s nothing dying in pots that needs to go out.

A solo sauna takes me into early evening and a red Thai curry takes me up to bedtime. HIGNFY and MTW put me to sleep.
