Some real rain at last

Which wetted the soil properly, and filled up the water butts. Looked pretty early on with tiny droplets lining every stem and flower. No Fareshare this morning, because I was supposed to be on holiday, so a sub had been arranged.  Instead I read an article on journaling, and practicing gratitude.  I feel in some ways we do that anyway, through blipping. 
Lovely lunch up in Park Street with Portia’s previous humans - old friends of mine who moved to deepest Wales for about 8 years but are now back in Bristol. We had fabulous vegan food at Boston Tea Party.  None of us is strictly vegan, but we all tend in that direction. Decided to have a regular monthly lunch and work our way around some of the many cafes and restaurants in the city. A happy idea:-)
