A useful site meeting with the builders and the architect this afternoon. Almost three weeks in and their expected end-date hasn't changed!

I went to a poetry reading/book launch this evening at the pub about 30 seconds' walk from where I'm now living (a minute from where I lived before I moved). With excruciating bad timing it was taken over just before the first lockdown by an excellent local social enterprise brewery that creates jobs for ex-offenders. Somehow they have survived and I was pleased to buy some of their 'criminally good beer' for self and friends who'd had to travel a good deal further than I had.

These are the solar bees that keep me company after dark. I'm ever so fond of them.
