the outdoor temp gauge read 100 degrees this afternoon! i had lunch with my grandmother in the richmond district this afternoon and our neighborhood in the mission felt 10-15 degrees hotter.
mathew’s aunt karin and cousin sylvia have been visiting from england. they drove up with daniel today and mathew took the day off work to hang out with everyone.
afterwards he got back to work on the house. i found him cooling off on the scaffolding and using his new toy (some sort of power nailer.)
I have just been seeing what you two have been up to since May when I was with you. The weather looks wonderful from this rain soaked land. Heavy rain and floods here and it feels like winter already.I have bought a little semi in Stroud and will send some pics soon,I began a job as a carer in Ligfield and the surrounding areas.Where did the last few months go ? I feel over whelmed when I see how much you have done to your place.I did paint the kitchen wall here a few days ago.I had a lovely 65th birthday celebration.I have nearly finished the sweater I started at yours, and have been knitting up some home spun silk into a cardigan.Mary Rose went to stay with Alathea for a few days it was lonely although I had her 5 cats for company.We had a drama over having rats in the cavity walls, ugh! They have gone at last.I am longing for sun.
lots of love from Mumsu
