Nice surprise: as we shuffled along the
benches waiting our turn and enjoying the lovely sunshine, a colleague from the
the hobby that dare not speak its name hove into view with his wife. Turned out that they were waiting to be
joined by another of our colleagues and her husband. She's from the same
litter as me, as it were, having started with me in 2004. She’s also the chair of governors at the
college where Martyn taught. I’m more
and more convinced that these coincidences multiply with the advancing years. Oh, and Martyn had met the valuer before.
The rain has held off so far, which is a great relief after so many diluvian days. The pond is still high, and the grass is back to its winter state (quagmire), only it's growing like it's summer. The mower is in dock, so we're battling on with the old mains electric job. Not a problem - we wouldn't be able to cut the grass for a week or so anyway: just hope we can get it hacked down before we head up to our summer pastures.
