Now there's a thing......

Just when you thought you aught to be getting some flippers and a snorkel, it stops raining! What's more it not just for an hour or so, but a whole day. A large yellow shiny disk has appeared in the sky radiating warmth and making the whole place look better. Perhaps its just a blip and the normal grey dampness will descend again shortly, for the moment though its a very welcome change.

Every cloud has however a silver lining and I guess the reverse must be true as not only did the warm sun dry up a rather soggy landscape but it also brought out a myriad of creatures that had been sheltering from the rain. Namely a swarm of bees, no doubt looking for a new residence after their previous one was flooded. Now I am a nature lover, but when they decided to set up home in the bathroom extractor fan I drew the line. Showering with a group of apis is taking the p*** so they had to be dealt with - and quick! A blast from the fan soon had them on their way back to the estate agents, although as usual you always get a group of stragglers who like to hang around in the net curtain for a chat or explore the vagaries of the plug hole in the bath, only to emerge when you least expect it and well, when you are otherwise occupied !

Still they seem to have moved on to pastures new. The sun looks as if it might be out again today, perhaps its not a day to sit too long and ponder life's problems..........!
