jobs

 The park was deserted this morning, not even the rheas were out. It was eight in the morning and they were probably being fed. Leave the leaves picked for them, the maple leaves, in the fence for them to find later upon their rounds. The flower beds that had been filled with daffodils a few weeks ago had red flowers in them today. The gardeners had been busy.

Upon returning home commence tidying up, The son makes two cups of  coffee, he is the only one who knows how to do this with the special fine ground coffee bought yesterday. The coffee is very good, it just has to be tamped down very hard. Exactly the opposite to what was expected.

Spend all of Sunday clearing the junk out of an old storage room, one of the rooms in the house with neither lighting nor heating. It had been left to it's own devices for years now. The final straw came with the discovery that the cat had been using it when it's cat tray was full.

This was not a pleasurable Sunday, but this was one of those jobs that needed doing.
