Grazers, digger and against the window.

The wonderful Nick is taking me away for a few days of afternoon teas, very large baths, huge dinners and massages. Normal service will resume after we get back.

On Monday, I'm hosting a leg of the It is just you, everything's not shit tour.

1. The sound of sheep munching.

2. A mole hill that is still fresh.

3. Towards the end of the day, a sudden storm lashes the windows. At first, after so many crisp sunny days, we are confused by the sound.

    I love the way your 3 BT's make me laugh, smile, go mmmmm in recognition, or aaahhhh, isn't that lovely.
    Have a lovely break with Nick; you deserve it.
    For anyone who is inclined to complain that you have missed a few days, let them get on and write their own to share with people. We shouldn't be so dependent on you - I am going to start my own shortly. Many thanks to you Claire

    Apologies for misspelling your name, Clare.
    There are so many lovely Clares/Claires in my life, I forget who has which spelling - this includes my son's girlfriend, my husband's nephew's wife and my oldest friend from brownie days, who introduced me to the wonderful Metamorphic Technique, which I now practice - all Claires, and then 2 Clares who give loads of time to their schools' PTA's,despite busy family committments. What is it about the name?

    A 3BT in Clare's absence:

    1. Small, stiff, overweight dogs romping through the leaves in the park.

    2. A whole hedge of Old Man's Beard (http://www.aspectsofwales.co.uk/FF7_oldmansbeard.htm).

    3. Coming home late and finding that Jules has let himself in and nearly finished cooking supper.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

-
1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
