I heard that @Pat E - wondered if you'd be tuned in How are they doing the distancing though? They certainly can't do it with the bikes, but are there spectators? Maybe they're going to be like that bloke the other day with the bag over his head, waving at the traffic Are you getting more fan mail than the Pope though @punkdoc?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thank you @Dovefromabove for that explanation of a Simpson's Sky. Mum used to say "there's enough blue to make the sailor a pair of trousers".
@floralies and @Busy-Lizzie - not quite into the winter dressing gown yet (I probably wasn't up as early as you) but 17°C this morning from 27°C mornings and 37°C arvos certainly cuts the air. The doors and windows were flung open - no dust, no flies.
Vendanges started so the shaking of the vines brings the mosquitoes .
Yes, it's been a long, very hot and very busy summer.
My mum used to say that too. We went from a clear blue sky, to a Simpsons' sky, to ...cloudy... Nice though. There's been a few flutterbies too. After @chicky mentioning the red admirals recently, I saw a couple a few days later. There was a peacock out earlier. It hasn't been great weather for them recently, so they've been a bit absent from the garden.

It's clearly cloudier oop north because I learned to look for enough blue sky to patch a sailor's trousers!
Beginning to hate bathrooms! Had a brainwave for fixing the slightly loose shower head support. Just need to go and buy some size 4 bolts that are 1cm longer than those I have. Typical.

Yes! @Dovefromabove and @Obelixx It is from a book I had when I was young. Was it a sort of Annual? My brothers got Boy's Annual and my sister and I got something akin - I can't remember. This book had many lovely short stories and poems in it. Do you remember the name? I adored it. Funny how things stick in your mind.
