Tis the time...

...for bumblebees to fly in through the truck door and then beat themselves up against the window trying to get out. All different sizes arrive, mostly much smaller than this big boy.

After admiring them for a while, I catch them in a glass and release them again. It is a small price to pay for weather that it warm enough that I can leave the door open all day.

This morning's exam was a complete no-show. As a result I was on the road heading out of the school soon after 10am. I am paid for a full session. Bonus!

On the way home Bean visited the vet for an ear infection and a reinfection of her claw-base. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatories have drained my bank account somewhat. She is worth it of course.

I am back in the garden this afternoon, planting out some bedding plants, doing more watering here and there, and coming up with plenty of jobs that aren't anything to do with grass control. I'm not in the mood for mowing or line-trimming today.
