Nothing much happened yesterday. This morning a man from British Gas came to service the boiler and central heating – there weren’t any faults. In the afternoon the sun came out and I went out in search of blackberries. There weren’t many about, but I got enough to add a nice flavour to the apples from my apple tree. I think the blackberry season is almost over.
