Can Ewe Help Me?

On the Lula walk this morning, saw this ewe, lying in the hot sun, bleating away, hooves flailing. Called Mike - apparently, when they get pregnant, can get stuck on their backs, unable to get up. Ran off to join the others as soon as she was upright again.

A day of phone calls and Zoom meetings; another in a few minutes. And of flies, annoying creatures. 

Speaking of annoying creatures, the Iberian magpies have eaten my first ripe fig, well, it wasn't even properly ripe.

Gratefuls:
- the beauty of looking out on our garden, messy though it is
- Mike working hard at rearranging the other room, so he can knock through a door to the ex-carbuncle
- the smell of essential oils diffusing; supposed to be offputting to flies... well, at least they smell good
