Yes cricket or not it was another of those exhausted days - well I did do 4 work outs Tuesday to Friday so I probably am that knackered. But it is disappointing to miss free time likethat.
I did go to the park again this morning for a cup of tea, and was lucky enough to spot this slightly ragged but still lovely small copper, not massively active on a dull and breezy day.
I've seen a few this year, more than the last couple. As for peacocks and commas, forget it.

I saw some cabbage whites and a citronella yesterday on my gentle run along the via salis, preferring that to entering a race today. As I'm retired I have siesta every day . . . but not 4 hours . . . although 2 or 3 hrs when I need to catch up and feel a need to regenerate.
ReplyDeleteHere there were lots of flutters in early Spring but I'm sure the Beast From the East wiped out many as they are far and few between now. The only copper I've seen is the colour of my new kettle. Had to replace the one I tried to melt the bottom out of when I dozed off for couple of hours and woke to that curious odour of singed metal when it boiled dry.

ReplyDeleteTalking of cricket - wasn't it good to see Alastair Cook's reception after his century.
Very much so!
DeleteLovely photos. Have seen a few red admirals recently, and some whites, but it's getting very back-endish now!
