Arsenal is top of the Premier League in case you didn’t wake up with that on your lips. We did. Hubby is ecstatic. He flew to Sydney for the day to meet up with another mad Arsenal supporter and best friend and to lunch with Nick. I drove him to the airport, a quick 20 mins through empty streets and he noted how lovely it was to be able to do this. Indeed it is.

So I am home alone today and loving it – first the domestic chores of which there are many and then a stroll and a tidy up in the garden. Collecting fallen fruit, checking the health of my seedling avocado tree, a legacy of the neighbour, and loving the colours, the blooms, bugs and blossoms.
