Day of rest and brooding. Cleaned the house, then popped out for a bit with my shades on to buy trousers and a piece of monkfish.

Stopped to chat to my neighbour, then Mum phoned to say she'd been for a five and a half hour walk yesterday. Spoke to Toby, and learned that Romy's grandmother died today in Japan, and Romy was with her having flown there from Toronto the day before. Otherwise Toby cheery and Meatball making its presence heard in the background. Toby has invested in cacti as "Meaty" destroys all other plants.

Later a Grey, a kind of alien, walked down my twitten and glanced in at my windows with its beetle black eyes. Okay. I made that up. But nothing much else happened.
