Sunday

Sunday evening. Relaxing after an eventful day. Caroline went with me to Homebase where we bought a garden hose and a rotary washing line. Got a lightweight one as Monica has to lug it around and shouldn't be lifting anything heavy. She's perkier today and really enjoyed the roast dinner, and the Pomerol that accompanied it. On the way back from the DIY store we called in at The Malt Shovel, the first time I've been there since March. The Ordinary tasted beautifully fresh and clean, a delightful pint. Neil, the landlord, came out of the kitchen to see me, bringing with him a pack of 6 bottles of Young's for me to enjoy at home, how kind! Visit from the Taylors to pick up some chairs to make way for the forthcoming aids for the disabled! I've signed the order for the lift this evening, so the wheel is in spin. Looking forward to the first week of Wimbledon now.
