The last local house to sell got reroofed, with a small solar panel added. That at least means they don't intend to tear it down.
After the rain at the weekend, the oxalis is reappearing.
Supposedly I will be able to go back to having two days off a week, this week. I'm not counting on it, though; someone else has now got sick (it's that season of the year).
The housemate is away for the weekend and the dog has been missing her terribly. He's continued sleeping in her room at night, returning to it soon after I get home in the early hours. I left the front door open while I mowed the meadow in front of the house this morning, so that he could watch me through the screen door. The mowing worked and it is now raining.
