Most of today was spent bottling a couple of batches of honey. I now have twenty jars ready for sale, and can report that the "shop" will be open again tomorrow.
The weather was quite lovely today, and, by the time I had finished with the honey, the lawn at the rear of the house was quite dry. I therefore did the gardening equivalent of making hay while the sun shines, dragged the mower from the shed, and gave it the first cut of the year.*
If the weather stays reasonable throughout the week, I may get the remainder of the lawns mowed before the weekend.
I can also report that I took a call from Mr T. Now Mr T is a rather eccentric horologist who lovingly attended to our 30 hour long-case clock when it needed some work about a decade ago. It now needs further attention, and the 8 day clock could also needs looking at too. Hopefully Mr T will be here on Friday to give us a diagnosis and a quote ... and then take them away to be fixed.
I should point out that out that we both love the ticking and chiming of the two clocks and their sound is sorely missed. It is like the house's heartbeat, and I hope they can be restored to working order in the near future.
