Detergenty

Yesterday saw the start of the Queens Jubilee celebrations in the United Kingdom. In St.Andrews there was a service in the town kirk attended by the Provost and the town councillors. Tricorn hats ,gold chains of office and 1990's era mayoral limousines ( bought when local governments had money to spend on such things and never replaced )  much in evidence.  At dinner time 'The Font' goes to a restaurant where the outside tables are each adorned with a small union flag. Apart from that you wouldn't know four days of celebrations are about to start. In England the celebrations may well be more effusive.

 

Sophie and Angus are in high summer mode. We're up at five fifteen. To be more precise Sophie is up at five fifteen and a bleary eyed Angus follows some time later. The lawn is already looking parched. Will there be any grass left by August ? We're overdue a thunderstorm.

'The Font' returns from the cool of Scotland later today. Sophie will once again find the kitchen to be a place where 'miracles' occur. For the family diva the return can't come a moment too soon. 

There must be a broken water pipe somewhere behind the Anger Management Mans garden wall. Water is pouring out of a drain and into the zinc bath. Angus can't be sure but the water has a less than healthy 'detergenty' look to it. Sophie is told to stay well clear. She looks at the gurgling torrent with more than a hint of suspicion.
