Jay’s parents came to visit us today, we are currently much closer to them than normal. We had lunch and chats in the garden, it was smashing. Rosie showed off by racing round the garden at top speed in an effort to get Jakey their 13year old dog to play with her. He gamely joined in for a few minutes, forgetting that wasn’t really his bag any more then had to retire, limping from the afray.

Then they left and I read my book in the hot tub, after a touch of splendor and before curry for dinner. Am ever so weary.
