This is really going to be a quick one to show I am alive. Today the cleaning lady is here, No. 1 son also means I am a little later as I like to eat earlier at midday when he is here and I had my delivery of the online ordered goods. There are always meat supplies that I like to vacuum for the freezer when they arrive so time began to slip away.

I must show my highlight of the day yesterday. A tortoiseshell butterfly arrived in my garden and perched on the sweet peas. It is my first butterfly photo of the year and she even stayed a while for a few photos. I have not seen one of these for a long time.

I also spotted this little lady or whatever on one of my flowers. I am sure it is not a bee, probably just a common hoverfly, but was something new.

And now I must really go. Dinner is cooking the cleaning lady has finished and I have other things to do. At the moment the weather is reasonable and the sun is shining. I really want to go to town this afternoon for a few items although they have said there will be showers, but it really does not look like it. Have a good day everyone, I hope to see you later.
