It was my working day – started at nine a.m. and I barrelled through it for a bunch of hours. Then the sunshine called. Alisa and Simon and I took Shanara for a nice walk up view ridge. Then back for gardening and finishing up my working day. Abby has stayed mostly inside where it’s cool and she’s eating well. Small improvements every day.

And that, gentle reader, is about it. When I’ve got my head down and fingers on the keyboard, pretty much everything else fades away.

I’m happy with how it’s going.

I am delighted with how the garden is doing.

And on Friday, I’m going to take a very long walk.

As for the madness of politics south of the border, I have only one thing to say” Black Lives Matter.
