Pigs can fly

This was the only photo I took today. Sorry it's such a crap effort. That cloud was observed to resemble an upside-down pig. You probably had to be there.

Spent the morning gardening in the roasting heat. I'm not a natural gardener. I don't know what I'm doing and I don't enjoy it much. As a result, our garden is a weed-infested nightmare. Most of my effort today was spent pointlessly cutting down overgrown weeds that were about as tall as me and had long since gone to seed and starting dying anyway. I have resolved, as I do every year, to spend half of each day in the garden, once the school term starts again, trying to bring the whole place under control. As in previous years, it is unlikely that I will actually do this.

We spent the afternoon in the village fête. Our village does not organise things well, and it was a typically sorry affair. Came away with four very cheap second-hand books, as if we don't have too many unread books in the house already. I'm a sucker for books.
