    Enjoy your family get together Liri 😀
    it is soooo hot and sticky here this evening ... we're dripping ... I’m on rather than in bed ... OH is watching tv ... we’ve been watching bats hedgehogs and frogs in the garden but I’m sooo tired now. I hope I get some sleep despite the heat. Hope you lot all get a restful night too. Sweet dreams all. 😴🐑🐑🐏

    Evening all. I hope our next summer doesn’t get to those high temps.
    Glenys, we got a whole 2mm of rain in the last 48 hours.😡
    the wind is very cold coming off the ski fields.
    We are not sure what to do with ourselves today, but if it’s still blowing as hard as it is at the moment, we won’t be going for a walk out the back. Too many Eucalypts willing to drop branches on us.  Might just have to stay inside near the wood heater. 😆

    Morning - hope all is well.
    We had a green woodpecker on the bird bath yesterday! I hear them sometimes - it’s like a comedy squawk! Is yaffle a common name or American name for woodpeckers too @Dovefromabove
    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Morning all. 
    @Dovefromabove, look away now.
    IT'S RAINING.
    Not much, but it's rain.
    Bagpuss's friend was a very clever woodpecker though. He was a Professor.

    @Hostafan1 he was indeed very clever ... an academic, I believe he used Latin words 😊
