Bank Holiday Monday and none of us got up very early this morning except Tom. Sara and I laid in bed until well after 9.30 a.m. and Mary later still. Sara's brother Adam phoned whilst we were still in bed to check on Sara to see if she had posted off some important papers for him. He shares my concern that Sara often forgets to do things and deadlines get overlooked if not prompted! I cooked breakfast for us - bacon and scrambled eggs, washed up and then spent most of the day gardening. I say "gardening" it was mainly hacking away at the hedge, trees and shrubs at the bottom of the garden - acquiring quite a few scratches and thorns in the process. Tom "helped" for a short time but found it all too much trouble. I also mowed the bank which is always quite a struggle - especially as the self-propelling mechanism on the mower is broken. The weather today has been dry but quite breezy, cool and dull - threatening rain from time to time. The Union Flag, which I hoisted in memory of Margaret Thatcher's great victory thirty years ago to the day on 4th May 1979, flew well in the fresh breeze. Sara cooked a roast chicken for supper tonight followed by rhubarb and apple crumble - but no custard!! Grrrr! How can you possibly have crumble without good old Bird's custard - you know the sort that comes out of tins and turns from pink to yellow when milk is added to the powder. There should be a law against serving crumble without real custard!
