A new retail park is being built about five minutes walk from my house. You literally walk to the end of the estate, cross a road and it'll be there. There's going to be a big Tesco, a Home Bargains, a couple of yet unnamed small shops and a drive-thru. I think it'll be great for the area, but they've just started the actual foundations after months of clearing the area -- it's on top of the old pit so I imagine it took time to make the tunnels safe -- and all you can hear today is a dull thud thud thud. I hope it's just the way the wind is blowing today and not something that's going to last for months.

I met Kayleigh, Lucy and Bodhi for coffee earlier. Bodhi was wandering around wearing a toy stethoscope and gave me a check-over. Apparently my boo-boo is now fixed and all is okay. What a relief!

Came home after that and picked a bowl full of tomatoes and more courgettes before pulling the peapod plants which are all finished now. For the first time in a while, I was going to sit in the sunshine and read my book. Then the sun went behind the clouds. My take on that is, it should be fun stuff first then work.
