Clematis

My mother told me today that being on your own was lonely. I think she forgets I live on my own with no-one coming in and out 3 times a day. Yes, it is lonely.

But today was a good day. I've finished Val McDermid (19 years old and v outdated) and moved on to Chris Brookmyre. In the morning I did housework and laundry and ironed. Least said.

The afternoon was back in the garden. I've created a strawberry patch and planted my clematis growing from cuttings. It was a lovely day and towards the end I ruined my nails ripping back the ivy and preventing it getting into the soffits.

The late flowering clematis always looks good.

I'm still listening to 'Black Widow'.
