A stunning day, very warm and sunny all day. Brilliant.
Day spent cleaning, repairing and oiling some more chairs and table. Eight more chairs and another table to go. Rest tomorrow so a Friday/Saturday job.
            Good to see the half dozen swifts about still and today against a brilliant blue sky. No photographs as rather high in the sky.
Still no moths in the trap but six small magpie moths about the garden on fencing, shed doors and the lodge door.
Tonight while eating dinner in the observatory another flew in on to the blind. Photograph tomorrow.
Red damselflies were again busy on the pond vegetation. This blog almost a repeat of yesterday?
              Sunflowers this year a joke, hardly any growth and badly eaten by snails, certainly will not be a winner this year.
Looking forward to resting tomorrow by taking a walk by the river and nature reserve.
