I had completely forgotten about the Merched y Wawr meeting this afternoon. For some reason I hadn't put it in the diary, so the reminder email (which actually arrived yesterday but I hadn't opened and read it) caught my by surprise. I wasn't feeling too bright, not ill, but rather tired. We'd had a visitor to the Quaker meeting yesterday. She's writing a book about Cader Idris (our local mountain) and wanted to know more about the Quakers. Fortuitously I was showing the video I've just completed about the Quaker Trail, but what with the extra hassle of taking and setting up the laptop and speaker, getting the budget approved by the other members and chatting to a complete stranger, I felt completely peopled out this morning. I'd also put a large number of tasks on my To-Do list that I really wanted to get on with. I therefore emailed back with apologies.

So, today I have done a load of washing and hung it to dry, I've also written notes for the Epilogue for the WIP. I try not to write out of order these days, but my writer brain hasn't got the message and gives me random scenes which don't necessarily follow on from what I wrote last. But I'm leaving it at notes. I won't write it properly until I get to the end.

I also nipped out to take the weekly alphabet photo. I wanted to get a shot of the church clock as it was striking eleven and this was the only chance all week. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain and the other mornings I'll be elsewhere at 11 a.m.

5/52 for the group 2026 Weekly Alphabet Challenge

This week's theme was: E is for Eleven

Eleven o'clock

As a backup, in case the shots of the clock weren't good enough, I also photographed some fruit.

Eleven Nadorcotts

My husband likes little clementine type citrus fruits. The Co-op call them all "easy peelers" but if you look at the label on the box, there are a number of different varieties. These are Nadorcotts, which are "a high quality, mid to late-maturing Clementine-type of mandarin". They were grown in Morocco.

I love the clock at 11:00.

Gene likes those Clementines too, we call the Cuties, LOL. It's just one brand name. I wonder where ours come from now?

Probably Mexico.
