rained off

Saturday 29th September - midday

It’s drizzly today, not ideal allotment weather. I’ve climbed into the damson tree and sawed off two big branches – exhausting work, holding on with one hand and sawing with the other. I’ll finish the job another day when I have the right saw, a stepladder and assistance!

I had a friend here yesterday – we harvested, cooked and ate a two-course meal whilst conducting a conversation about our mutual concerns. I recorded this conversation on my laptop and it will, I hope, be the first of many interactions of this kind towards my research project.

Another friend, who was going to call here today for coffee, has seen the rain and called on my mobile to invite me for lunch instead.
