Tuesday

Frustrating bits and pieces sort of day.  I boiled up the Quince Jelly again as it hadn’t set.  I finished another Peter Rabbit and wondered why I bother?! I pottered in the greenhouse and wondered why I take so many cuttings (five sage plants and ten hydrangea cuttings?!).  I concluded it’s all about keeping busy and filling time.  Sometimes it gives me pleasure and sometimes it doesn’t?

No.1 was tired this morning so I was creeping around while she slept.  She had arranged to meet cousin E for a coffee and OH drove her to Rochester to avoid a train all the way to EF.  I stayed home and enjoyed the quiet.

No. 1 enjoyed meeting up and they wrote some poetry.  (E is multi talented, intelligent, lovely young lady).  She slept when she got home and we had sausages and mash (most unlike me but if I mash with plenty of butter it’s ok).  However she felt poorly after dinner and went to bed with a headache - another worry.  Here’s hoping tomorrow is better - packing ready for trip to Spain and something else to worry about.

No photos today but Malcolm in his litter tray sent to me by No.2. Good job cats don’t understand embarrassment.
