Ten remain but only just.

This is the third week of these rose flowers and things are just starting to deteriorate, not helped by today's rain.

I started work as it started raining and two hours into the day it was clearly time to call it quits, the weather has beaten me today.

Back home I did manage to complete a number of administrative jobs, drink tea and, as it stopped, pop in to take the boys for a quick walk before collecting a tired commuter.

We had dinner together then I left so she could have an early night before another early start tomorrow, hopefully with a little less rain.
