Thomas and Jiro on the alert
Busy day for the baby boy today. Thomas has accepted him, albeit grudgingly, and they've been chasing around the garden, disputing ownership of the deckchair. Jiro spent a lot of time right at the top of the pear tree, observing the birds coming in to feast on the pears. Fascinating! He was also introduced to the joys of gardening, the wonder of watering, and had a brief contretemps with the neighbours' cat. He's sitting on my lap right now, observing the cursor and the appearance of the string of words. I've been making plum sauce and bottling pears, plums and nectarines; the fruit garden has been very good this year, unlike the vegetables which have suffered from a slow, cold start to summer, followed by a drought. I'm on holiday for the next two weeks, hope to get all the fruit squirrelled away and the winter veges started.
