FIREBUG

Pyrrhocoris apterus.
When I was awake at 6 o'clock this morning I thought about a silly image I would love to make. In summer we have many beds, cushions, etc. for the benches outside. In my mind I piled them up and stretched myself on top of it, as the Princess and the Pea. But when I woke again at seven, I discarded this idea. Much too hot for a thing like that, perhaps it would better for colder days.
So I took photos of the firebugs, and one of them you can see, if you like in the extras.

I did some cleaning and clearing in the house, and some buxus trimming
outside. Then the same pattern of yesterday, reading, sleeping, eating.
Too hot for even a short walk.
