Today has just been a wander around kind of day, a gentle run, a gentle wander around the garden snapping, and a gentle wander around my sofa watching Star Trek 6. A productive day or what?!
I think the reason for the malaise was the grey skies and clagging humidity that made walking around or running a seriously sticky business. Despite the absence of sun, the heat as soon as I started running was staggering, and my drinks bottle barely lasted 5km.
Luckily for butterflies, they don't sweat, and the warmer it is, the more they like it! Ditto the bees, who are loving it now the buddleias are in full bloom.

Nice to have a "potter" day, and just look what's about. Very grey and damp here and still waiting for my Buddleia to flower..

Don't apologise for a semi lazy day Si - your photographs always tell a different story. Could you send some of that weather up this way - here in North Yorkshire it is largely wet and bitterly cold.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hoping soon to have better camera to take better shots for you, I'm getting frustrated now with all this blurry rubbish my Motorola spews out.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE - I've just looked around, and found some tips that weren't on the net before. So we'll see!
We all need a pottering day :) enjoyed your photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise, thinking of somje suitable targets for the weekend and beyond!
