Jordan is landscaping my garden, or rather the few square yards of backyard behind my cottage. He has wonderful energy and is very neat and organised. There is a skip outside which is causing even more congestion in the road than usual. Today we have a miini cement mixer churning away. I am just about to make a list of plants, and Jordan is doing the same, we will see what we come up with. It is very exciting. As he is working so hard I cannot just sit about reading the Guardian, and doing the crossword, or even working away on my computer as it makes me feel like the idle rich, so I am trying to look busy too.
Grand daughter M is staying, who is studying for her A levels, which start next week. She is doing mathematical squiggle at the table. I am so impressed by the cleverness of my grand children.
We both went to see an Italian film last night in the Village Hall, (the monthly Ditchling Film Society) :The Golden Gate, about Italian illiterate peasants sailing off as immigrants to America at the turn of the century, enduring terrible hardships,. M and I are sort of still living in it today as it was such a powerful film. Baby Arthur and F are back here tonight so I am very family orientated at present. .
