An Orkney Sky

Rainy and windy overnight.  It was only as the day developed that we realised the sky had been delivered to the wrong postcode.  It should be in Manitoba.

I collected my Mum at mid-day and when we returned to HQ CMC had a pot roast ready courtesy of Fletts and our veg patch. She had even walked along the road and picked enough berries for several pies.  The first one was excellent.

My mother has moments of lucidity with occasional lapses.  As we neared her home she leant into me and said ‘Don’t forget to do your homework’.  I asked for a note to dodge PT but there was no outcome.

After posting I caught Luke taking in his last bale.
