Rain and flowers

I've had slight conjunctivitis today, so have stayed at home and dosed myself with eye drops from the chemist. Possibly picked up from Frieda - though she seemed clear of it yesterday. Occupational hazard of grandparenting... Richard picked Eben up, so that I didn't have to go out (and driving would have been a bad idea).

After some early rain, the blossom on the quince tree was looking wonderful, as it gradually fades and gives way to the emerging fruit.

I'm overdue for some journal catch-ups: hoping to that on Thurs.
