Fig leaves

I'm delighted to see that our carefully planted fig is starting to unfurl its leaves. Fortunately I managed to go and buy some new summer clothes today as my current, rather aged selection, is pretty much falling apart and these leaves wouldn't really provide much of a cover up unless you were a size zero.

I'm writing this entry at ten thirty and although it's too dark to see the keyboard (and because I touch type I haven't bothered getting up to switch on the light), outside the clouds are making huge, dark shadowy shapes against a lighter sky where the setting sun is still throwing up some orange hues amongst the high up pale blue, I can also see the first stars, so I guess it's time for bed!
