The red currant bushes are loaded and ripe...I should actually have picked some to day but it was damp and cold. So I plan to do it all on the weekend - pick the currants and make jelly. I hope the birds don't have other notions before I get to the berries? It's a hard job to pick these currants - I pick them clean so it won't be too big a job inside. And the bushes are not located in a convenient location so there is some degree of aerobatics required to reach them - and at same time holding onto the dish, and pulling back branches. So why do I do it? Because they are there.
The next door Dutch lady approached me this afternoon over the fence to say she does not want to go with me to the Casino (July 27). I think I mentioned that my friend Ruth, her sister, bowed out because of an appt she forgot about but I was fully prepared to take Gerda and guide her along. Now she doesn't want to go without Ruth. OK. Fine. I'm happy to go by myself......or would you folks like to join me for the day? haha
Well, not much done today if you don't count the sitting on the patio for a few hours. But I guess it doesn't hurt to rest and relax once in awhile. I was trying to sort through some books with intention of donating to the Library fund raiser in August. However, there is a dichotomy of opinion in the house about what should stay and what should go...so this task too, shall take a rest.......
All for now....Take care
