1. Courgette flower fritters and salad for lunch: delicious and nearly all homegrown. We eat too much.

2. Lily and I both fall over on our walk, slipping on mud in the wet woods. She is stopped by a convenient little tree and I manage to escape with just a couple of nettle stings – which, when falling into a clump of nettles and brambles isn’t bad at all.

3. R comes over in the evening. He sounds more positive than he has in months.
