Do not open with a knife.

Our new balustrade from Richard Burbidge was delivered this morning as promised. Pleased with recent research and choice. They’ve been really helpful. Opened and checked; nice quality. Job for next week.

We did some pruning under the cover of the canopy of the tree as it was raining. Ivy had taken hold again. Lots to snip nearby!

Caught the Covid19 update from the First Minister at Holyrood. New daily cases are 60% lower than at the peak of the latest wave a month ago. 998 in hospital today. Highest population vaccination share now. Recognition that indoor meeting and more public transport use as winter approaches may cause problems.
