A special day

 Pirate would have been 86 today..so I did things that would have made him happy.

Cleared the garden path...he used to look out of our bedroom window first thing every day and always wanted the path clear....


Picked my first "Russian Black" tomato 


Heard from his eldest daughter that her son passed his degree with a 1st...and it was cap and gown day today


Bus trip this afternoon to the travel agent...I have my boarding passes for the French Trip and I will get them in an email as well...all eventualities covered.

I practised small bag packing... I think that I have everything in...now to see if the vacuum packing bags will work to give a little more packing space. Putting a light cardboard box inside the bag looks to have worked..to ensure that the bad doesn't bulge ..I have no wish to be charged...about £50...each way!!

No pretty coloured sky tonight...but still a beautiful one


The flap of skin that got pushed up in the scrape looks to have stayed down...Aloe Vera gel has helped as well.,

That's a very nasty bruise on the back of your hand. I hope it heals up properly.

You must be a master at packing for international travel. That path does indeed look cleared. I spread 10 bags of sodden horse manure on my garden to be today. Just waiting for comments from the neighbours about the rich odeur.

The darker mark is an age pigmentation.I'm fortunate that there is little bruising

Packing light incentivised by Pirate who was an "everything bar the kitchen sink" style of packer!!

Far better than the harshness of chook....or pig, being very like human....healthy horse manure is quite a sweet smell, like the smell of a healthy horse
