There is very little to report today. It has been another glorious day, weather-wise. I was up at 7:00 and read the overnight news while ingesting an invigorating coffee.
I had the usual call with the cousins at 9:00. This included a story from last week's luncheon - or rather, the aftermath. Several of the cousins retired to The Mitre, a pub near Ely Place in Holborn (this area has great sentimental value for this branch of our family). As they left the pub, they got into a taxi and a stranger jumped in after them and tried to hijack the taxi. The cousins were having none of it and stood (sat) their ground, As the stand-off continued the taxi driver joined in and demanded the stranger get out. At this point, he became racially abusive. The taxi driver and the cousins phoned the police, who turned up and hauled him out. He was arrested and the cousins have been asked for a formal statement and need to be available to give evidence in court.
That could be the most interesting part of the day. I finished some reading and then got on with some ironing. di went to the garden to plant the flowers she had bought yesterday, while out with Zoe.
Once all of the coffee had percolated through, I headed out for a walk in the sunshine. I was out for an hour or so and then came back for some lunch and to settle down with my Kindle (Di was still pottering). Zoe and Ellie dropped in briefly but were soon headed back to their garden to do some planting and mow the lawn.
