Another very hot and humid day today. Saturdays now seem to run to a pattern and today was no exception. Sara and Mary went into Salisbury for cheerleading practice and essential grocery shopping whilst Thom and I stayed behind here in Winterslow. I spent the morning gardening, or to be more precise, weeding the front garden and drive. The hot humidity has meant that weeds are absolutely thriving especially as they are watered every morning by the rich dew. It was hard work and the sweat was rolling off my face as I hacked away with a hoe and rake - but the result was pleasing. The only frustration is knowing that it will have to be done again within a week. I need to get some weedkiller. This afternoon saw the beginning of the football season proper with massive defeats for Norwich, QPR and Liverpool! Grimsby could only manage a goalless draw at home against Nuneaton. Both other promoted teams to the Premier League, West Ham and Reading ended the day with points on the board so it is up to Southampton to come away from Manchester city tomorrow with something. Tonight, Sara and I watched a film starring Bob Hoskins, Susan Sarandon and Anthony Hopkins called "Mussolini and I" about the relationship between Mussolini and his family towards the end of his reign - especially that with Count Ciano. looking forward to the family day cricket at the Ageas Bowl tomorrow.
