Active day

R’s writer friends Karen and Sue were still here, but left around lunchtime. My foot was still painful but I did cut down a bush that we wanted to dispose of next to the house, and washed and painted another section of the walls.
In the evening our new neighbours from across the road, Sarah and Ian, came for drinks, and we had a pleasant evening. Worked out at one point that Sarah and I had been in the same running group, probably 12 years ago. She went on to do about 27 marathons compared to my one! I took this photo just as they arrived, because the colour of the rose is so striking
