Well enjoying my first "bridge" day today - the day between a public holiday and a weekend, that isnt worth working... And it is 24c!!
Spent a late morning doing "pool chores", hoovering, testing (quality not swimmability) and then the afternoon in and out of it, cant really see that 22c water temp should feel that much colder than 24c air temp but it is fine once you JUMP IN.
About 20 olde worlde (probably steam driven) cars just struggled up the hill by the house, Rolls, Ducati and Mercedes that I recognised, absolutly beautiful in the bright sunshine - typically I had been torn between rushing up to see them and running in to grab the camera first - decided to just see them and well worth it -not to self keep the camera near by!!!
Ella (cat) had a face off on the balcony today with a magpie, that sat and screeched at her from the safety of the railing, didnt phase her at all, although I do think she thought better of it than trying to catch the bird...
Wildlife update - Green Woodpecker on grass below the house, Nuthatch on birdfeeder, a lark or something with a wonderful song in the woods below the house.
There has been no further sign of the "monkey" spotted by Ms B last week, although we are keeping a weather eye open, although it was in a bamboo thicket so thoughts may turn towards a baby giant panda at some point. If it ever returns will try and get a pic!
I am also a little concerned that next door have acquired a very vocal sheep and lamb for their garden - not sure if either is destined for a life longer than the summer bbq season though!!
The pool is looking inviting again , so may need to round of the day with a couple of lengths and a bit of a bob.
Slowly, hopefully, this may start to become more interesting so stick with it and we will see what happens.
Going to put a link onto facebook and see "what's occuring" as they say in Barry.
