Floating garden

Hmmm. Monday. Again. Lots of meetings. No outings.

The phone lines (and hence main internet connection) are down. I call it in and an engineer turns up almost immediately. He can't fix it but phones a friend. It turns out that Myra has tipped burning coals on the cable and severed it entirely. They rig up a temporary fix and promise to return tomorrow with more cable and waterproof joins.

The barn is also reporting electrical problems. Davie is duly called. No answer.

It's venison stew followed by plum and apple crumble. And then I get to finish The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey - which I really enjoyed.
