Jackie has responded well to penicillin and is now recovering.
We experienced our second frost today.
The early sun sent the icy drops of the wisteria leaves melting;
it took a while longer to illuminate the lower plants
and grasses,

and later to redden the lingering leaves of the copper beech.

tells the story of the meal I spent this afternoon cooking. As I mention, it requires powdered aniseed. This is not in our larder, so once again Susan’s chicken has no aniseed and I had to be creative with other ingredients.

Flo boiled basmati rice to accompany the chicken with which I drank more of the Malbec, then settled down to watch the Football World Cup Quarter Final match between England and France
