caught up on my household admin and updated my MSE challenges
mowed the front and the back - the front properly, the back I just cut with no collector so it will dry out as it had got a bit shaggy and I'll have another go tomorrow
did some hobby admin as well and then sat out in the sun for a bit when it came out and had a lazy half hour - which was niceI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour

several hundred miles distance doesn't hurt relations, although more time together would still be preferableI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
