Favourite

My favourite rose, Rosa glauca, small and unassuming, absolutely beautiful but oh so transient. The flowers last only for two or three days at most. But then dark red hips to look forward to later in the year.

MrM left early this morning to go fishing. I continued with the 'sort out the paperwork' project and, at last, it's finished! Phew, it seemed to take forever! 

Nipped out to buy a new loaf tin, some marmalade, and a card, then called in to the Cheviot Centre briefly. Home to start tackling some of the housework that's been neglected while I've been trawling through the paperwork.

Heatwave? What heatwave?? It may have been scorching hot in the south of England, but it was pleasantly warm in this corner of the land. Just about t-shirt weather! No rain for a while though, so I spent a while watering the plants in the 'yard this evening.
