Hail
fell, just the size of rough-cut rock salt, bouncing over the lane all pretty and
fleeting.
It
melts on the ground, joins a rain stream undercutting the edge of the new
tarmac. Dog looks up and then ignores it. She has pheasants to put to flight.
Mr is outside pressing juice from blackberries. He says he thought of fetching
the car to us when the hail struck, then he had remembered how I love a change
of weather.
He's
right, it was delightful: just that slight difference, it puts crystals at my
feet. I needed that, today: a boost, a sign, a few crystals at my feet.
Dared to spend money on three cinema tickets. It is Bond's fiftieth birthday, and we don't go out much. Sneak a look at the faces of Mr and Boy by the light of the title credits. Rapt and joyful; I liked the film immensely, but this was my favourite scene.
On the way home, Mr buys a Millionaire's Cheesecake.
