The aftermath

Rachael and Esther are really missing each other. They've both written a letter. Just waiting for the long distance post to cross over.

Coralie left again yesterday (she's been back for a few days), early in the morning. She was really sad to go too. She's off in Australia, and then Thailand. Then back to France for her brother's wedding. All the best, Coralie. We'll miss you.

I've been tidying the house, putting the tent away, and dealing with a mound of washing. I've also been dealing with the washing machine. It needed a two foot screwdriver to tighten a certain bolt. I improvised with some fencing wire and a socket spanner I borrowed from work. There was also a loud rasping sound whenever it was in the rinse and spin cycles. I took the back off, and after some investigation decided that a little pull cable had got pulled too far, and was now too long. So I'm trying to shorten it somehow.

Meanwhile, Bronwyn's been buying shares in the garden center, and has been doing a lot of planting and weeding. Currently she's mowing the back lawn. The sweetcorn is just about ready, and I've thrown in a few more old potatoes. Marvellous things, potatoes. When they get old and soft, just dig a few holes and throw them in. Come back later, and there's more in the ground than you started with!
