Gazania

Another busy day for me today, but I am not with my grandchildren; they are with their father and have probably done much more strenuous things, like playing x-box or computer games, going for a walk or a cycle ride.

This morning we did a little bit of tidying in the borders, but as Mr A and I both have bad backs we did not get very much done; you can see the difference though. Then we put up the solar lights in the garden, some on the forsythia, some on the grapevine and some around the kiwi fruit.

I have wrapped all of the presents now except for the table gifts, which will not take very long. The food is in and just about everything is done; although I am usually organised, I am not this organised.

I photographed another sunrise this morning, but I was not impressed with it and I saw a ladybird when we were tidying the garden, but could not find it again. I saw this Gazania flowering in one of the tubs; I blipped these flowers on 15 July 2011,, so I do not know what it is doing flowering now, obviously it took the days literally and knows that the longest night has past.
