Sunshine and aubergines

Really hot again this morning. Thunder this evening across the country, and the temperature dropped but it skilfully avoiding us here sadly.

Lorraine somewhat recovered from falling over yesterday. I felt far perkier too. Pat and Maureen still suffering with a bit of a cold. Nevertheless a cheery enough day, and they came with us to the bottom of the garden, and in the greenhouse. Maureen picking basil leaves for pesto from lots of basil plants, and also picking off assorted creatures such as small snails, etc. which she enjoyed.. 

In the evening spoke to Mum to arranging a trip to the Jolly Badger pn Tuesday, and Toby, now safely back in Toronto having just returned from seeing Joan and Dick. 

Below Pat and Maureen with Lorraine in the glasshouse. Egg sized aubergines loving the heatwave, and growing almost visibly.
