At last, half term has arrived, and last night Becky and I went to see Chicago in Bristol. I enjoyed the show, and I enjoyed the Italian meal we had beforehand at Moltobuono 59. What I didn’t enjoy was having to get up at 5am this morning to take Becky to Bristol airport – she has flown to Edinburgh to visit an old school friend, and returns on Wednesday. I have felt tired all day, and my afternoon nap hasn’t completely refilled my batteries. I’m sure an early night tonight, though, will do the trick.
And having enjoyed a wonderful May so far, it is typical that the weather has changed in time for the holidays. It rained last night, has been dry today, and windy, but the forecast for the next few days is for rain. Which did mean I’ve tried to make the most of the outdoor weather today – changed the oil in Becky’s Ka, took down the Box hedge/tree in the front garden – it has been demolished by a caterpillar, a shame to lose it but it was just a skeleton of twigs.
On Wednesday I got my first sunflower seedlings planted outside in the big trug and, fingers crossed, they seem to have taken hold. The alliums look great, but are just beginning to turn
But not to worry as all the Love in a Mist are beginning to flower to give a burst of blue and white across the lawn.
On Monday evening I took Sam to Bridgwater station to return to Cardiff – I head up there later this week to bring back a car load of stuff – his time there is nearly done.
