Day 58 Wednesday 20th May

It has been very hot and dry for the past few weeks. At least that is the way it seems. From October to March all it seemed to do was rain. Am I the only person who is wondering if our Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter have been replaced with a wet season and a dry season.

I did some shopping in Sainsbury’s in Wallington, and bumped into an old friend. It was good to catch up with him, but the main thing I noticed was his hair. He obviously does not trust his partner to cut it.

I went up to the allotment in the evening to water everything. I watered half of it, made a cup of tea while the water tank filled up, then finished off watering the other half. A very pleasant and relaxing hour and a half.

Day 59 Thursday 21st May

Not too much happened today. The work that should have been done today got done yesterday, so all I had to do was write all the reports up.

I had a call from my friend Mike, who I usually meet up with, on Thursdays for a beer. The Duke’s Head is closed and probably will remain so for the next couple of months, at leas. so we haven’t seen each other for nine weeks. If the next phase of lockdown easing allows more getting together, I might invite him over for a beer in the garden.

Day 60 Friday 22nd May

The bedroom is finally complete. The carpet was laid today, and it all looks pretty good.

Just need to put the furniture back in.

We finished the day with a trip to the allotment, watering, weeding and a cup of tea, with some rather nice shortbread that Diane’s daughter had sent us. We also picked some radishes, which are the only thing that is actually ready at the moment.
