A reasonable night with Princess. I'm starting to feel slightly optimistic. I lost 3/4 of the children after lunch - I love it when their friends turn up and whisk them off :-D

Smallest (he always gets left :-( ) and I picked up chicken food, cleared the back porch to make space for it and cleaned out our chickens. I say we did it but I mean I did it and he ponced about doing important 6 year old things.

The garden is almost yielding it's goods - the grapes still need longer as they are sour and the apples are still firmly attached to the trees. What we need is for a last attempt at summer...
