Moving on

Cherryfudge

Phew, the heat has passed for now. It was 20C today. Pleasant. I think DH slept badly so I let him lie in while I got up to finish planning for the children's activity, and it went more or less to plan though I nearly forgot to give them drinks and biscuits. Someone mentioned it so they weren't left without, but they enjoyed what I'd thought might be too complicated a craft session and that took up a lot of time when they would normally have been off and into something else.

DH and I had chicken and chorizo pasta for lunch, and during the afternoon he did some work on the shelf that holds my collection of D3nby china. I noticed last night that it was sagging at one corner. Unfortunately the drill bits he has won't handle the job so the china will be sitting on living room chairs for a while.

I've potted on a couple of vegetable plants and the rescued allium bulbs from the batch I bought in the autumn. There are only 11 left, but at least those now have a chance. I also discovered that the water barrel hadn't refilled in yesterday's rain, as the entry pipe had silted up. It's clear now but the tap on the barrel is leaking so I'm not sure how much will be in there tomorrow.

We rounded off the day with a short walk out into the fields this evening. Lovely.
