Jamie collected me this morning and we drove round to the local Berry farm to pick some fruit. The blackberries were amazing so we picked two large punnets and a punnet of strawberries. There's also a caravan where they sell morning tea so we collected two servings of pancakes, berries and ice cream and two servings of pavlova and ice cream, all liberally covered with berries. Sometimes I think it is heaven on earth living in Longford.
When he dropped me off, I discovered we have Archie to stay with us for a couple of days. While we were out, Marilyn had given him a bath and he was looking particularly smart.
There's nothing else organised for the weekend. I might convince Marilyn to watch a movie this afternoon although we're both a bit allergic to watching TV during the day. We had been watching Season 2 of Reacher, mainly because I'm a fan of the books, but chucked it in mid way through episode 5. It's just another over-aggressive US blockbuster and totally misses the nuances which make the book series so exceptional. Instead we've started Series 2 of Annika a UK series set around the water police unit based in Glasgow. I always remember listening to The Goons in the 1950's. One of their favourite lines was, "How would you like to join the Water Police?' followed by a splash.
Silly the things that stick in your mind.
