Golden

I'd given up hope of posting a blip this evening, but our friends at Orange restored our Internet connection after only three hours' unexplained outage. Better be quick before it packs up again.

This photo is terribly out of focus, but something about it pleases me. Even on a beautiful day like today, it's rarely completely windless here, so the tall stems are always moving, and the camera kept refusing to focus the way I wanted it to. If it wasn't so fuzzy, it would remind me of chaiselongue's blip, on a much smaller scale. Anyway, it's the best I can do today, in the limited time available. Now to try to sleep through the impromptu teenage party taking place below our window -- our village is a noisy place in summer!

Pool this morning: air 25C, water 23.5C. Lovely!
