Had a lovely time picking blackberries today. It is a wonderful fruit that is aesthetically pleasing on the eye!

Surely someone has written about them!

Yesterday’s football was a dismal goalless draw. Not sure about the balance of our side because he wants to accommodate all four forwards. Need a tough tackling midfield player, would offer my services but I’ve lost my boots!
