Desultory

 The lawn has turned into a wildflower meadow. I keep not mowing it because it's really much nicer in this state than if it were flattened. I satisy my urge to manage nature by clipping the edge of the flowerbeds and doing some desultory weeding.

It was humid yesterday. The kids were having a barbecue at Alice's rented bungalow. We were hanging out at the Meeting House until three and by the time we arrived in Pevensey the cooking was done but there was plenty of cooked food on the table. Tofu is the  least characterful foodstuff going but if you barbecue it on a skewer with red pepper and onion and beetroot it ain't bad at all....

Today is like yesterday only the cloud has cleared and it's going to get really hot.

Young And Old

 When you've been around the kids and the grandkids- as we have this week- it's refreshing to go visit someone really old- as we did this afternoon- and be the young'ns for a change.
