Coping Strategies

I think this must have been one of the hottest days we have ever had at Feorlean.  Great that it was a holiday Monday too, which I was using to finally throw off the bug I have had for the last week or so, and to catch up on the constituency email, which never stops .

The upright is the view from my desk at 9.00 am - my coping strategy to ensure that I was only working in the coolest part of the day (thought that didn't entirely turn out to be what happened).

The other two are coping strategies of a different kind: Tigear sought a tree to lie under.  Rula decided on several (many) excursions into the pond.
