The end of a good day.

Spent the afternoon in the front garden, weeding out couch grass and tidying up the straggly and dead foliage. It was sunny and warm, flat calm, lovely.  I even had my sleeves rolled up! The temperature wasn't quite up into double figures, but it was very pleasant!

Lottie lay on her mat close by. She had a longish walk in the morning and was enjoying just soaking up the sun. She's usually a poor gardening companion, won't just lie there but demands constant entertainment and attention! Age seems to be making her a bit more laid back about life!

A chap walked past and said hello. He wore a hard hat and was carrying a  clipboard/tablet  device. I asked if he was checking the flood risk. Oh no, much better news, he was surveying where a broadband fibre cable could be laid! Great excitement! The old BT copper line is useless and most folk in the village struggle to get a decent Internet or phone signal so this will be such a great improvement.  He said it wouldn't  be too long a wait.

Before going in to make the tea, I took Lottie round the back track. The sun was setting and the sky looked on fire, together with S&B's house!  A really good day. Lots accomplished and properly tired.
