Frew t’ Nettin’….

… There were lots of strawberries, sigh, but we were a bit late with the netting and lots have gone already! Oh well, share and share alike (whatever that means).

I’ve had a slow day today owing to having had a really poor night.
We were late turning in, owing to a bit of full moonery, lighting a little fire at silly-o-clock and sitting out like Nightwatchpeople, to infuse our clothes with woodsmoke. (Made even later by my total inability to turn off the torch on my phone… I’m not one to give up without a fight, though I did in the end. Himself kept giving me the instructions I had already read for myself (!) and it was quite gratifying sad that once he took it off me in frustration, he couldn’t turn it off either! (Switching it off and on again was a solution, of sorts).

Once in bed I realised I was perished.
Tried to ignore it for a while… Full moon didn’t help. Had brilliant idea of hot water bottle (just what you need mid-summer).
Got up. Prepared same. Hugged it and fell comfortably into the arms of Morpheus..
Woke shortly after (very wet indeed) to a catastrophic hot water bottle fail!
And yes, I do know that all hot water bottles are helpfully marked with a sell-by date.
And yes, of course it was (but only by some twenty years. Aren’t I lucky not to have been scalded years ago?). Thank goodness it was only hot, not very hot water.

Good night Mary Ellen.
