I have ten minutes before a meat pie is ready to take out of the oven, so will catch up with a short blog and a coffee. Apologies, but I have no real news today (do I ever?)...it's going to be a pretty yawny blogSocially, August will be a month of reunions, which will be lovely!
Nu and I are meeting up on the 7th and will have a meal out with all of our Sheffield friends together! which will be a first for us since the 1990s! a week later Chris and I will drive over to Liverpool for a night (in) with Nia and George, our old OLD friends who now live in Australia. Both are over for a short family visit and have kindly managed to fit us in amid their frenetic itinerary!
Thanks to my blog, e mail and texts, I never feel that Nia is so far away, but it will be fantastic to catch up. Old friends Ground you, sometimes more than your family can do.
Anyhow the bloody rain is lashing down YET AGAIN!, which has put paid to more strimming and gardening (the back garden looks like an adventure playground), but I am resigned to get soaked later as I need to harvest the rest of the beans before they rot on the plants. This afternoon will be a marathon of blanching and freezing!
pic- thanks to friend Nige who took this photo, I think it's lovely
We had a downpour here in N.Idaho night b4 last...I like it, probably since it is SO different than the horrid heat (& dry) of the AZ desert. Poor Patrick is back down there and it was 114F. so far today. Ugh. Thank the Lord for A/C!
ReplyDeleteReally like the photo by Nige. Is photographer his profession?
it should be, he is, in fact a University lecturer!
ReplyDeleteHey - less of the old!! Wow - hope we can live up to the expectation of grounding you - we'd just hope to talk pish and have a laugh! See you in 2 weeks! Weh-hey! xxx
