Our Covid vaccine reactions dissipated overnight.
I carried out a lengthy dead-heading session on the morning of this Cold. Overcast. Wet. (COW) mid-June day.
Here are a selection of the beneficiaries of my labours. Keen readers may spot some spent buds I have missed. If so, I do not want to know. Each image bears a title in the gallery.
Martin took the dead blooms from Wonderful Grandparents because it was unsafe for me to reach deep into the bed.
Soon after 3 p.m. when we set off for Ferndene Farm Shop to buy salad, sausages, and eggs rain set in for the rest of the day enabling me to produce a variant acronym: Cold. Overcast. Wet.
Here are a pair of pictures of the shop from through the car windscreen;
another of Holmsley Passage;
and one along Bisterne Close.
When viewed through the open passenger window I was able to focus
on a tree draped in honeysuckle,
and two different cornuses.
This evening we dined with Elizabeth at The Royal Oak, enjoying friendly, efficient, service and excellent food. The ladies both chose a very tasty Caribbean chicken curry and rice, while my pick was a fish and linguini dish which I relished. My sister and I each selected baked Alaska for dessert. Elizabeth drank non alcoholic Peroni, Jackie Diet Coke; and Merlot for me.
