1. Annoyed that someone has stolen two of my pumpkins from my plot and about hearing how a friend’s employer is messing him (and vulnerable customers) around in a dodgy way, I get angry with how selfish the world seems to be these days. I try to think about people acting decently and an image from half an hour earlier pops into my head: on the way over to the plot, I saw two people we know and a third person working on the community garden at the crossroads.
1b. Bags full of runner beans – probably our last huge harvest of them, close to 15lbs today alone, but there will be more trickling in until the first bad frost. A handful of red tomatoes and goji berries. Two perfect courgettes.
1c. We meet a puppy in the park – such a little cutey that even grumpy Lily can’t get annoyed with him. He runs over for some attention and, with a triumphant air, steals a bean from one of the bags. His mum uses it as a throw-stick to lure him away from us.
2. I notice that the wood on the footboard at the end of the bed is slightly smoother on John’s side than on mine.
3. A pack of Fruitella Crunchies and kitten videos on Youtube.
