We sent off our neighbour Geoff today. He was diagnosed with acute leukaemia around the same time I was diagnosed with a different variety of the crab, so we occasionally swapped oncology war stories. We learned at the funeral today that he had been a project manager on the Rio-Niteroi bridge, and that he was a competent pianist. What a lot of stories and music we could have shared.
A few days earlier, I joined a ‘walk and talk’ session on the nearby common, organised by the local u3a, guided by friendly and knowledgeable Commons Rangers Gemma and Dan. Very informative and interesting, and another chance to meet nice people with similar interests. It did, however, take me to the limit of my endurance: a mere 3000 + a few paces, since the day was warm and humid. Must build up.
Sonst: we had a nice Sunday with Martyn’s sister Sandra. A simple lunch: a chicken casserole alongside charlottes from the garden, followed by an apple crumble, using apples from our tree. It shouldn’t be too long before we’re cropping tomatoes, and we have lots of potatoes to lift. Let’s hope for some good cropping conditions.
