Sweet

At least the deer don’t like these.

I’m so sorry for those of you sweltering in the south. We spoke to London friends earlier and it’s unbearable there. Ruth is not coming tomorrow as planned, given that trains are running late and lines are buckling and travelling by train is not advised unless essential. We are both disappointed of course. How come that doesn’t happen in countries which often have high temperatures I wonder?

Obviously it is very hot here too. I tried reading my book in the shade but it was too hot. I don’t seem to have achieved much today apart from ripping out the knitting I did last night. I doubt my mistake would be noticed - but I knew it was there.
