Good weekends, bad weekends

Over the past month contributions to redeeming weekends have included:

1. pancakes for breakfast, courtesy of the husband





a walk down memory lane (here a shot from the undercroft, the Norman chapel, of Durham castle)





taking time to smell the roses (at Anglesey Abbey)

These have had to compete against

1. catching a summer cold from one's godson


2. sunburning oneself to within an inch of flayed whilst coxing


3. witnessing the near disaster of a crockery-bearing shelf give way, and the hoover giving up the ghost

But in the long-run the good points outlast the bad.
