Well, that was an intergalactically hot weekend. I'd been looking forward to a warm weekend, but cricket on Saturday was brutal, Sunday was grey and tropically sultry, and then Monday was so blisteringly hot that even going for a sit down by a river resulted in my phone shutting down, my kindle being too hot to touch, and my feet getting burned through my shoes.
So long distance runs and cycle rides were out of the question.
Instead, short walks to the library gardens or through my work campus, and see who was enjoying the sun.
Lots of bees on the wildflowers, and also loads of tiny moths - the colourful mint moths, and another small species with the rather baffling name of the apple leaf skeletoniser moth sat on yarrow.
The colours there are stunning, with the yellow of ladies bedstraw being the dominant hue, and I'm making the most of it while it is there.
