The meat is in its
marinade for this evening. It will just need a quick grill this evening.
I was surprised
yesterday when our gardener turned up despite the showers. She’d apparently
looked up the weather forecasts & seen that today we’re supposed to be
having a tremendous amount of rain. Sunday, at least, was only supposed to be a
day of showers, one of the drier days this week.
For once I didn’t
join her & chat. It was too cold & too wet. She decided to leave a
little earlier than usual. Even for her the rain was getting too heavy. She assured
me that next time she would stay a bit longer to make up for it.
I happily paid her.
She’s a hard worker with a kind soul. I feel I can trust her not to diddle me.
I’m confident if I had a problem, even not a gardening one, she or her husband
would be round to the rescue. They are good people. There are few enough of them
around.
So far there’s no
sign of the watery deluge. Admittedly it’s another grey day, like so many we
have had of late. Maybe the deluge is yet to come. Certainly the wind is
getting up. I hear the rattle & squeal of the side gate though so far the
banshees are not yet whistling down the chimney.
