An Old Favourite

This rose is blooming on a corner of my mother’s terrace for the last 40 years or so. She always loved it, and it always produces flowers all summer, and well into autumn.

Today wasn’t quite as hot as yesterday, but still very warm and humid. I went to see my mother and her carers, we were sitting outside in the shade, had cold drinks (nothing alcoholic of course), and tried to move as little as possible. 

After my grocery delivery there, I worked some more. Several deadlines are piling up in the next couple of weeks, and I need to keep to my schedule.
