Did it really rain in the night?
Must tidy up and empty the vacuum cleaner etc. as the home help comes today.
I get the hedge trimmer out and attack the front hedge as far as I can reach. holding the electric trimmer at arms length makes me rather wobbly.
Now :- About 8:30AM and I can see a mass of blackbirds picking over the bread I put out yesterday.
Some pop star died and the radio etc are going on (and on) like he was a cross between Bethoven and Tchaikovsky.
We have coffee a bit late at the hopme help arrives. She didn't say hwer name ( as they are supposed to). But said she had been here i the past. Neithewr of us can rememver her. She does a bit f this and that but doesn't stay long. Not a gossip.
