I've made gooseberry jam, and blackcurrant jam

realised that if you top and tail gooseberries while watching Grace and Frankie it kills the boredom;
discussed with Dave the idea of updating the kitchen;
cycled;
sat in the garden and planned the next novel;
Relished the latest review of my new book EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW YOU
Picked sweet peas:
I have two patches of sweet peas. Same amount of sunshine and rain, same batch of home-grown seedlings, different soil. These pictures could be sent as an illustration to the new Minister of Education about the development of children.
And lastly, I tried out a new 'craft' activity with Zoe for our next refugee hospitality day...decorating chrome barrettes (hair clips) with various kinds of bling, because that's what a lot of the punters like. (It amuses me hugely that Quakers and bling seem to be such a contradictory conjunction.)

Busy! I love sweet peas. Thought of Dave (or rather Sol) last night while on a walk. Husband's ears perked up and he announced: "That sounds like a reciprocating mower." There followed much craning of neck and then a satisfied "Yes it is. Thought so."
That is VERY funny! Do you mind if I use it in a novel?
No, please do! We'd be flattered
Thank you! I will acknowledge you of course.
