could also have set fire to the tree and the surrounding shrubbery. Bad idea in my opinion. :( Would've made a good picture of them diving though. :-)

Meanwhile the ones waiting to drown themselves buzz around and you're much more likely to get stung by them.

It's certainly true that they've been around far longer than humankind. That's success!

Wouldn't have mattered really - they'd made the tactical mistake of building the nest at the end of a long single branch overhanging water.

Leodis actually. It's a long time since you came - the answer is yes - apart from football :-(
You should know better than to believe everything in the meeja ...

But I was only referring to the football (on this occasion).

In that case I'll bow to your greater experience.

I am stunned. I have printed out a copy of this post, to keep for posterity. It must be the heat. :-)

Heat is pretty stunning in its effect. Make the most of it, it will go back to your usual wet Wales.

Oh yes please. The heat has made some beautiful hay. I now want some rain to get the grass growing again (not that there is any shortage).

Daughter's hay is splendid too but she can't cut it until after tomorrow I think it is - some scheme or another.
And our vegetables are also superb.I'll be sending Mrs N a picture of the rose.

Sounds like the scheme I am in; Tir Gofal. As you know, the weather is a bit of a hobby with me. I saw the excellent prospects of the good weather, with the weather deteriorating afterwards, so I contacted CCW and obtained a derogation to cut early (using the weather prospects as my argument).
Tell your daughter that there is a slight risk of light rain tomorrow (Friday), a couple of days of dry but cooler weather, a slight (very slight) risk of showers on Monday, fine and dry (and warm) on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with rain before the end of the week. Please also note that three days is a long time in weather forecasting and the further away the forecast, the less accuracy there will be.
Thanks.
