Recap
Missed last week's post here because busy with other stuff. We had M&F and baby O here to stay for the weekend which was nice. The heatwave has broken and we have been enjoying the more cooler conditions as well as a bit of rain. Attended a meeting with the coroner this week in advance of the inquest re Dad's death next month. Going to be away next couple of weeks. Bumper crop of links for this week.
