Hovering over the artichoke flower

Yeterday was busy. We had our flu injections at 9:15 in the morning - in and out in 2 minutes. In the afternoon we went to the allotment for the annual allotment bbq which was great fun with almost 100 people there. I won a set of glasses in the raffle.
The photo is of a globe artichoke that wasn't picked and eaten in time.
