What can I write about this kind of day? There's a heavy shower one minute and sunshine the next minute, then more rain. The rain barrel is full of water, too full, and the lane is full of puddles. It's difficult to do work in the garden for a long time. But work was needed. The wet plants on the fence were too heavy and we had to cut them (lots of bindweed plants). There was enough time to wash my red dress and black jumper. The weather is too wet, therefore I can't dry clothes in the garden. I hang them in the conservatory. The three-legged cat is happy in the conservatory as well. I had lots of windfall apples, so I made yellow jam - apples, carrots (for lovely colour), sugar and a drop of lemon essence. Is there too much lemon? I don't know.
