More paws

It’s been a hot day and Bean has been surprisingly sensible. She spent almost all afternoon in the truck, where I’d opened all the windows and the door to create a wonderful breeze.

I, on the other hand, was slightly bonkers, driven as I was to cut grass for five hours. It is the first day for what feels like weeks when it’s been dry enough to mow and line trim. But boy did I get hot and bothered, covered in bits of grass, sweat dripping into my eyes (I hate that) and very very weary now.

Still, I have done more than half of it and at last the place looks somewhat cared for.

I’ve had a restorative shower, a glass of 0% alcohol beer and some dinner (fish pie, then raspberries). I’ll sleep well tonight.
