The ground may still be wet, but at least the rain had ceased today.
Martin was able to make progress on widening the step in front of the French windows, and

This evening we dined on a choice of tasty penne Bolognese or beef casserole, with firm broccoli and tender green beans.

The Culinary Queen and our daughter drank Buck’s Fizz while I drank Calvet Prestige Côtes du Rhône Villages 2021, given to me for Christmas by Martin.
