heleninwalesToday was dry, so I didn't get wet doing the big weekly shop. I am now stocked up for the Bank Holiday weekend. I then drove up to visit M and we did the crossword rather quickly because I had arrived a little late.
The weather has turned colder, but I'm not really sorry. Such hot weather in May didn't feel normal and I was thinking that if the heat continued to build through June then July would be intolerable. Anyway, it was cold enough yesterday and today for the central heating to switch on automatically. (It's set to come on if the temperature falls below a certain level.)
I have nothing particularly interesting to report, other than seeing a couple of rabbits in the back garden at lunchtime. Our neighbour had seen some in his garden some days ago and had evicted them and then quickly reinforced the rabbit proofing around his garden. He is a very keen gardener and grows lots of vegetables. The rabbits are welcome to the weeds and grass in our garden and our neighbour on the other side only had grass and three fruit trees, so she's not going to worry about rabbits. I just hope they stay with us and don't devastate our gardening neighbour's plot.

Point reached on journey: Exciting and terrifying things have happened. We left Tom Bombadil's house but went in slightly the wrong direction, so were captured by barrow wights. Fortunately Tom rescued us (again) and set us on the right path. We now have hobbit sized swords (actually ancient daggers).
