Sun, Sand, Fences and Fancies

Beautiful, hot, stifling day today. I took the dogs for their usual walk but took few pictures. To be honest, I was still suffering from all the walking at the beach yesterday.

The dogs get very excited at walk time When I sit to put on my boots, they all come to me. Bear, today, put both front feet on my lap (his head then level with mine). Not to be outdone, Trickster then climbed on his back.

We were in Cleethorpes yesterday. Here's some barbed wire and metal fencing...

There's something wrong about the grammar of this sign - I just can't put my metaphorical finger on it.

This has to be the best yoghurt in the world - Activa fig flavour. Wonderful!

The block of postcards behind are ones I had done for An Ungodly Child.

Finally today, in recognition that I'm not going to be able to do martial arts any time soon, my wall sheet of atemi points was replaced today by a sheet of

Poppies and Gravesides

Poppies and teasels. How delightful are they. They bloomed today in the front herbaceous garden. It needs weeding again -- there's a new jungle of convolvulus but it has to be my favourite bit of the garden.

Also on the herbaceous bed are these: our first raspberries of the season. There are more plants in the back garden but I stuck some in here to fill a gap. The purple is a flowering hebe.



Blue skies!

Hottest day of the year so far, apparently.





Even in the Park of the Dead the sun was shining.

Several council workers were cutting the grass around the graves - one had a sit on mower to do the large areas, another a small mower for between the graves and a third with a strimmer to reach the parts the others couldn't reach.
