The Dahlia

are doing so well, despite the heat here :)

I am quite proud!

In the extra, a ladybird - it flew past me in a blur of orange - and  I realised it was previously drinking from the cats outside water bowl.  Later a wasp was drinking from the same bowl.  There are other bowls available in the garden for them :)

Late uploading this blip, thanks to my stupid laptop doing some sort of update that took hours and hours.  In fact I nearly threw it out the window turned it off and went to bed in disgust last night as the laptop itself was so hot :(

I did not do a thing yesterday, even the walk to church seemed too much effort.  I would like to go over to Newbury today but worried about the threatened storms, so I might wait until Tuesday....
