Pinch, Punch First Of The Month

And no returns.

Which means I get to pinch & punch you gently once and you don't get to reciprocate. There are other ways to mark the start of the month. An old boss of mine was fond of saying "White Rabbits" and I haven't forgotten "Rabbits, Rabbits, Rabbits" either. Odd the things to come to mind sometimes.

Noticed last night that all the swifts were gone which was a bit of a shock. I refuse to believe that this is start of the end of the summer. I have many more outdoor plans for this year.

And on a summery Blip note these are some Black Eyed Susans (Thunbergia alata) on a neighbour's balcony. I think they're quite pretty.
