Tomorrow its off to the Big Smoke for a bit of r and r from the household chores of Hutton With the wife in foreign parts for another two plus weeks the full burden of House and Garden has fallen to Huttonian. With the Strawberries,Raspberries, Woosterberries, black, red and white currants coming on stream simultaneously, plus a record crop of gooseberries. -Add to this the shopping- fighting off the caravanners at the basket-only-cash-only-tattoos optional checkouts; the washing and drying-hanging up the smalls in a force 7 wind, watering the 45 house plants. feeding the birds via the numerous receptacles-nuts, fatballs, organic seed things, changing the bird bath water, weeding the patio, doing the compost, recycling, struggling with the crossword, the newspaper run...no wonder the wife has escaped to Zambia. You can now understand Dr Livingstone's motivation for missionary work on the Dark Continent
Photos of Ms Z will inevitably follow. Sorry CB bloggee.
