It won’t last. The weather fairies have spoken and rain is on the way for the weekend. Oh well, it was good while it lasted.
Scamp went out to FitSteps in the morning and I set up the workspace for the big build of the Lego Bonsai tree. Didn’t really get started, I think that will happen tomorrow, when I’ve more time to spare, at least in the morning. What I did do was contact Billy, a distant relation of mine who I’d promised to meet up some time in late February, or maybe March. It looks like we will eventually meet in April DV.
When she came home, Scamp made a list of shopping we needed for tomorrow. We walked down to M&S and found that we’d left the list at home. Then we were even more disappointed to find that the few things we could both remember weren’t available in the shop. M&S used to be a good shop with a decent range of goods, but the Cumbersheugh shop seems to have landed on hard times.
We walked back home and took the car to Tesco. Not the best food shop in the world, but at least they cover the bare essentials and a little more.
We sat out on the front garden and read for an hour or so after lunch. Then Scamp wanted to water the plants she’d recently planted and I was looking for some photos. My favourite of the day was a little pair of leaves poking up from the dry ground. I do hope we get that promised rain soon or these plants are going to struggle.
Back home it was pizza for dinner. It was a bit soft and wet in the middle, but it filled a space.
John & Marion are expected for dinner tomorrow, so there will be a lot of work to be done. Thankfully, most of my work will be done by the oven, hopefully!
