Weekly View from the Window Post.
Gosh - I hadn't realised it was a week since I posted - sorry! Not that there has been anything much happening. I did an extra full day in the bookshop, and we were back in Sunday School. The weather has been pleasant - mainly dry and temperatures of 17 -20C. I have pottered a bit in the garden, done a bit of knitting, read, and time has just drifted by. Today has been a bad knee day so I haven't done much at all.
Out in the garden the sweet peas are finished and I have stripped them from the rigging so that I can now see more of the nasturtiums that are further back. The roses just outside the kitchen window are in bud again - there is one flower already. There are still butterflies about, and bees.
When I did my usual turn in the bookshop yesterday it was beginning to look like Christmas! I must remember to take a picture next week.
NYk2 seems to be coping at secondary school - I think she might rather like the anonymity of being one of the least significant amongst around 1,500 pupils!
The children have been back at school for 2 weeks now and, so far, there is no big rise in the covid figures - we have 212 current cases, so about 1 in every 400 people. So life is fairy normal at the moment.
I had a meal out with 'the girls' last week, and we were joined by another ex classmate and his wife who have been able to come and visit family here for the first time in almost 2 years.
Anyway - the view this week - out the front the sea is calm;
This new phone seems much more prone to showing my reflection!
And out the kitchen window;
Again the eye focuses better than the camera on any odd pops of colour - so here is a zoomed in look at the veg patch area where there really is some colour -
If my knee feels better tomorrow I will take a couple of closer photos out there as, also, the buddleia in the far corner has begun to bloom just as everyone else's has finished!
