Surprise

MrM put up a couple of brackets in the kitchen this morning, and I'd just started vacuuming the resulting dust when pfft! An ominous smell confirmed that the motor in the vacuum cleaner has died. Maybe not surprising, as the vacuum cleaner is ancient, but a nuisance all the same. Finished cleaning up, and put hanging planters on the brackets.

Intentions of gardening were once again thwarted by the weather. No rain was forecast, but it rained on and off all the same. Wandered round the front garden for a short time during a dry spell, and was surprised to see this lovely pink 'Pheasant' rose.
