Toms

The Head Gardener is very pleased that her Midnight Snack variety of tomatoes is already showing on the sunroom windowsill.

Lots of odd jobs accomplished today including the important work of donating blood - that’s Fiona not me - I don’t like needles. I dropped her at the centre while I went to the supermarket to shop. 
Half way around my phone rings. It’s Fiona. 
‘It’s me’, she says. 
‘I know’, I say. 
Being an honest sort she volunteered that she is having a cataract operation tomorrow which meant she was not allowed to give blood today, the rules (of which there are very many) do not allow it. Wise really. One doesn’t want to have one empty arm for any sort of operation.
