Way Down Low

Squirrel was going to move this chap off the doorstep when she was leaving this morning, but I told her to leave him ..... it meant I had a Blip in the bank if nothing better came along.

I pent a while lying on the edge of the pond trying to get a decent shot of the Pond Skaters looking at me - but the wind was blowing them all over the place and this was the best I got. So I turned the lens on the Parrot Feather Fern.
When I got too uncomfortable and was struggling to get to my feet, I saw a frog sitting on a Lilly pad. Of course it dived into the water before I could turn the camera on it. However it did stick its head above the surface so I could get a shot or two.

We went out for afternoon tea at the local garden centre (they do excellent fruit scones) and sat amongst the flowers soaking up the sun and watching the huge white clouds just sit and go nowhere.

When we got home there was a call from H's daughter again this afternoon ... the police, social work department and child protection agency are all failing her and not doing their jobs. They are also showing how completely arse over tit society has become and how the lunatics have taken over the asylum. 
I had to go and do something on the lathe to get my mind off it before my head exploded and I did/said something that could problems for H's daughter.
I think it is just as well I am not in the police any more.
