A good forecast

Rather excitingly the BBC weather forecast has promised us a week of good weather. It was so sunny and warm at the swimming pool this morning that it felt almost Mediterranean. The pool was also nice and quiet now that the school holidays are over and I was enjoying myself so much that I went on to swim 64 lengths (a mile) instead of my usual 40 lengths (a kilometre.)

Forrest and Marjory came round for coffee in the afternoon and we lit the fire pit, which was pleasantly less smoky that usual because there was almost no wind. Tom and Flora both came outside to entertain our guests by chasing birds and chewing on the newly grown catmint and generally being very cute.
