It started off a bit grey with a white sky and a temperature of just over 18ºc, and dry. From there it all went downhill.
The temperature was the first to drop down and it kept falling all day. The clouds got heavier and lower and around lunch time the rain started. It wasn’t looking like day for outside photography. I thought I might have to resort to a tabletop setup to get some images into Flickr and from there to a PoD.
However the rain wasn’t continuous and during one of the dry spells I managed to grab a few shots of one of our Triffids in the back garden. It’s actually a Teasel plant which is just opening up to reveal the teasel flower head. Presently it’s about two metres high and still growing. Also growing in strength was the wind today, which was not only strong, but also arriving in gusts which caused a fair bit of damage to Scamp’s roses. It also managed to behead one of her favourites. The teasel being made of sterner stuff just bounced around in the gusts and didn’t seem to come to any harm.
Scamp went out to the dentist’s for her check-up to make sure that everything was ok after her antibiotics had done their work and the dentist seemed happy with it for now. Hopefully it will stay that way.
Dinner was a Wednesday staple, Fish ’n’ Chips. Made by Scamp, of course and very nice it was too.
That was about it for today. As the title of the blog says, I was hardly past the door today. Hoping for better weather tomorrow.
Really sorry to hear that you lost Penny today, Hazel. It must have been heartbreaking for both of you to take her to the vet for the last time, but it was the kindest thing to do.
No plans for tomorrow.
