I caught Sammy smelling and then eating the flowers of the Japonica this morning.   He didn't seemed bothered that I was pointing the camera at him albeit through the windows.    The extra is as he's decided to taste them.
It's great having Fridays off and today has been a busy but satisfying one of domestic chores - 5 loads of washing all hung out and almost all line dried, vacuuming and polishing, all the windows and frames cleaned and two hours of tidying up in the garden this afternoon.
In a little while I'll be going to Steven's to wish him a happy 47th birthday, where has the time gone since 1973.   I will catch up with you a bit later this evening.

Thank you so very much to everyone who looked, commented, left stars and hearts for my 1460th entry yesterday.   I'm quite overwhelmed that it's made page one of the popular pages.    What a wonderful community to be a part of :)
