In the garden I'm growing garlic, basil, sage, courgettes, spring onions, spinach and tomatoes. I'm also trying to revive an old strawberry plant and working over some soil in the corner to take carrots next spring. Today I got my very first harvest - forty or so basil leaves, the biggest three quarters the size of my palm.
In the afternoon I went to Sunderland for an hour. The deckchairs were out by the bandstand in Mowbray Park, full of old people wiling away another afternoon and young mothers fat with oversized jewellery, bulging shopping bags and stomachfuls of pizza and chips. I dodged the school groups in the Winter Gardens then came home to watch bits and bobs of Argentina's annihilation of the Serbs.
