Old friend!

I need to finish pointing the garage but there’s no mortar anywhere. Apparently it’s ‘all going straight to the building industry’ so I spent the day clearing the rest of the reeds from our pond.

Last year, when I was clearing the landfill site at the bottom of our garden, a young robin, still with its green breast, kept me company every day. I’m sure this is the same one, who’s been with me all day today, all grown up now. I hope it is, anyway. It’d be nice to know that the lovely little green robin survived as I got very attached to it.

In other news… my son’s gone to work with my daughter tonight for the first time as he’s going to take over from her at the takeaway when she goes to uni. He’s a bit horrified, though, as he’s just taken an order from his old form tutor! :-D

And the agency got my references back - phew!
