Bedraggled

We managed to wait under a tree for the downpour to pass.  Looks like this bee wasn't so lucky.  She was busy using her middle leg to rub herself dry.  If only there were a miniature towel; that look said, "Don't just take photos, do something!"

After six months (Rich says possibly eight) of getting quite used to washing the pots, I've actually had the dishwasher fixed.  There's nothing like multiple visitors approaching to shake you into action!  A parent of one of my pupils fixes appliances - great to know someone that you trust to sort a job.
