In case you were wondering, we are somewhat cooler and Ava is in her tube on the yellow, balding lawn.
Best shot of the eclipse I could manage, a while before full 'totality'...
Ava's having a cuddle,with her paws in the air,like she just don't care ... She doesn't 😊
You look fab and cool and I love your yellow trainers. Here's mine, am a bit obsessed with yellow at the moment. They look more yellow in reality
Ava has been doing something similar, finding a draught, anywhere she could, I think. But she's finally flaked out, safe in knowing we are with her. #cats 😽
Got some new patio furniture. Waiting to fill an empty pot with cosmos purity, late delivery. Been another unbelievably hot day.
Sweltering... Will go out and give it a water tomorrow, despite the recent tempest
Had a lovely day, it's somewhat cooler. Walked to Alexanda Pope pub/hotel for a cooling drink, before trip to the magnificent and mad Strawberry Hill House. Lunch at Dolce Vita Teddington.
Sitting in my garden with Ava and the sky is gawjus. Crappy phone camera doesn't do it justice. Lovely and cool now
Ava has now staked her claim to the lower patio area (get me, to the bottom of the garden) ... My York rose has been glorious again
Ava grooming beside ferns, was such a beautiful day today. I need to get up and out for the run early as it's going to be even hotter tomorrow. Not complaining
At the end of a beautiful day, summer furniture is unpacked (cushions to come)Ava has staked her claim to her favourite Summer spot.
Coming home from my run I saw my fabulous egret again, doing some fishing. Pics aren't clear due to rubbish camera on phone.
Saw these beauties on the way home from my run on Friday. My friend and I speculate they're the Hampton Court Palace horses. Made my day 🥰
Gorgeous. Saw this beauty coming back from my run yesterday. Pic is a bit grainy. Speculating their nest is nearby
Oranges and lemons everywhere, on the only sunny day at Sorrento, during our brief break 🍊🍋
Tulips looking lovely, anemone emerging, think I'll need to put more in next year. Robin is singing his heart out, have put out some more food. Ava sniffing around wondering who I'm talking to.
Tulips popping up at last. It was a beautiful warm day yesterday. Looks like more of the same today. Thank god
