Bee in an artichoke

Up for a run this morning.

Back home for a hearty breakfast.

El scorchio again; around 30 degrees C.

Mooching around garden and house and then off to take JL a thickshake while she gardened in the heat.

Helped out in the garden in the heat for a while, pulling up what seemed like never-ending dead poppies.

Then decided to head home to get my wee English shoulders out of the burning sun.

This wee fella was doing his thing in an artichoke which had gone to seed. Very cool to watch. He didn't seem to mind at all and posed for me.

Now I'm going to grab a cool shower and get ready to go out to a 'Christmas drinkies' thing and then for tea at JL's. Of course, Cousteau is invited!

Better go and cool down now.

Byeeee.
