Morning Hosta and Dove. Our weather is still fine and clear sky. 🙄. Not that I’m complaining. We are warm and comfortable inside. I’d like to hear that song thrush, Dove. I don’t know if we get them here.
Warm days, windy and many many aphids chomping through people's gardens down here. My neighbour went to a garden supplies shop and it seems to be a year for gluey plants.
I have a dawn chorus too @Dovefromabove One very angry sparrow was having it out in the Mimosa tree this morning. I wonder who was on the receiving end!
My swallow couple are very active and chatty and the lady is sitting on her nest whilst her lord swoops around gathering insects.
Keep warm @Pat E - only a couple of months more to get through the winter.
Have a pleasant day everyone and good luck to fellow aphid zoos!!
Morning folks,was up at 5.45 watched a couple of episodes of. Beechgrove. Hubby cleaning the windows before the sun hits. Had very strange weather the last 3 days! Same today, woke up to brilliant blue sky sun,then from no-where,thick fog, instantly. Lasted today just a few minutes, yesterday and the day before,an hour, then instantly burned off!! Unable to get through to the surgery,rang 13 times over 3 hours, permanently engaged!
Thinking of you and all the family today @punkdoc ((hugs)) 🥲
Had a lovely day cycling round the coast of Bournemouth yesterday-Beryl Bikes were a big hit. Got as far as Mudeford, and took the ferry across the harbour (MrC loves a boat ⛴), and finished off with an excellent meal in a Greek restaurant. Chicklet on good form, she really seems to have settled there 😀😀😀
College today - penultimate one before the course finishes. Seems to have whizzed by ⚡️
Thanks for the references Dove and Tui. Lovely to see them. The sun is going own now, so I’ll be pulling the curtains closed. Hubby is making a lemon drizzle cake and it smells wonderful. We had several lemons getting wrinkly in the fridge, so he’s used them up. 🤪

That's a beautiful moth @Busy-Lizzie . I have 3 Spurge Hawk Catepillars on Spurge that I have growing (and spreading). I hope they don't chomp on anything else. Here is a photo:

Extremely beautiful caterpillar.
