    I wonder about turning the rest of his Mum's ashes into a pendant for his sister, now you have said that @rtandon27 - it had not occurred to me before.

    Right, yesterday I helped my former mentee with her bees (by video and message) - with more today, I watered, I had a friend here for a quick coffee, had lunch at the community lunch, walked the dog, chatted with the farmer and went for a quick drink in the Village Hall. After a cup of hm lettuce soup (really good) and a couple of slices of toast, I listened to my new book club book while doing The Times puzzles, watched Gardeners' World, chatted to my mum and my bereaved friend and that was me done. I managed to catch the very end of the Australia v Egypt match but it was just the celebrations.

    More of the same really today. With dog 100% mine today, I cannot go to the bee project I wanted to attend, so I have 2 trays of honey jars in the dishwasher, and I will jar up some honey. Two people have asked about buying some and I have no larger jars at the moment. All lovely and quiet for a change. Mr Sl is safely in Devon - it seemed to take him around 7-8 hours to get there with at least 2 stops.

    Have a good day all
