Here

Petals drop onto the table from pink geranium flowers. With hyssop and nigella, alchemilla and perennial sweet pea, in a vase to honour our 24th anniversary yesterday.

A huge and ineffable sense of grief and longing.

M the builder, our next door but one neighbour, comes round to look at the leaking downpipe, tells L he'd like to keep bees if he had space.

Another mouse has died, so I'm using the laptop's hated mouse pad.

Evening sun despite met office severe weather warnings again.

I feel like I might be getting a cold. That prickle deep inside the nose.

My young client full of excitement, her life extending ahead of her.

Nothing is missing. Everything is here.

I hope it was a happy anniversary, and I hope the cold doesn't develop and I hope the rains don't return. lots of hopes for you!

It was, it didn't, they haven't! Thanks for hoping.

I share RR's hopes and rejoice in the good bits.

When you said another mouse had died, I was thinking "trap and piece of cheese"... not computer. HA! You got me!
