The Last Weekend

"The start of the Great War. And my father's birthday." That's what my dad used to say each year on this day, without fail.
So, I set the out of office for the long weekend for the last time and headed homeward. The last weekend! And so, after a risotto made with vegetables from the garden (well apart from the rice, obvs, smarties) it was on with Sing Street on the monster TV. Apparently we've now bought it from Amazon but where it exactly is ... on some Amazon server presumably where we can access it forever? Anyway, I've got to say it's an engaging and entertaining yarn. Right. The festival is upon us, accompanied by leaden skies and showers as usual. Have some sunflowers.
