Mrs Mop goes Dervish

Lisbeth is doing her whirling dervish thing all over the place. She was down the garden weeding and tidying at 6.30 am and has been cleaning in the house, once the Big Builder was up and running on the next job. Work is progressing well: inside, outside and in the big builder's department. And the sun is shining. Enfin! (That's 'at last' in French.)

My own contribution to the dervish activity, this afternoon, is to monitor the little clockwork cow that is timing the freezing of the beans. After blanching them, Lisbeth cools them in water and then lays them on metal trays in the freezer so that they freeze individually and fast. I'm monitoring the second lot. Lisbeth has already done two lots of broccoli. The little cow ticks and turns and, at this very moment, there are 14 minutes of the 45 to go. Tick tock!
