Good thing that J and Bill did the trimming yesterday, as we seem to be back to the pattern of a series of showers. Windy but not cold. Not complaining either - no snow, no cold, plenty of fresh fruit and veg - but hard to plan anything that involves being any distance from home when a (usually heavy) shower hits. Winds tend to make umbrellas fairly useless too. Do take a short walk for provisions, though now reaching the point of not wanting to stock up on food that may not be eaten in the next two and a half weeks, so bread, wine, eggs, milk. Note that there’s still a packet of green lentils (yes, Canadian, as they seem to be everywhere we go) in the cupboard. Make pea soup using the lamb bone from yesterday’s dinner, brought home because it still had half a portion of meat on it. Should really have regarded today as a fast day. Too much good food here.
Finish reading Breaking News and look through the ebook library for what’s next in the read aloud category. Should be one light and one more substantial. Choose Jack Shenker’s The Egyptians, a look at the struggle of ordinary Egyptians for political justice - not assisted in any way by the support of the West for undemocratic elites as long as a self-serving Western agenda is maintained. We’ll need a lighter read for relief.
