Gorged on Nectar

Can it get any hotter? No rain on the horizon. It's certainly sapped my will today.

Really nice to see George, Kat and William at lunch time. We found some shade in the garden and ate sausages in bread buns, followed by ice cream. Will likes ice cream. George brought his little paddling pool in which he enjoyed splashing around. Getting out of the pool and getting back in seemed to be a major source of fun.

Then it was late afternoon, the heat of the day. We retired inside.

I took this photo this morning. The bee seemed to be stuck on the heart of the water lily. I could only imagine that there was a major return on the nectar.
