Woke to 10.3 at 5 am
What to do today?
Photo more butterflies?
I seem to be having a few thousand of these 19 million migrating Painted Ladies.
There must be a sign in space pointing to my garden saying “gennepher’s butterfly garden”...
I am doing the U.K. butterfly count.
I have either to watch for 15 minutes (impossible with these numbers), or stand in front of the bush and count for 1 minute.
I chose the latter.
Still near impossible, so I am tracing my finger in the air through the bush, counting in 5’s, 5 10 15 20...until I got to 62 Painted Ladies, and then I had to remember how many and how many other different varieties of butterflies I saw. There were 3 more varieties, and they made the count to 102 butterflies in 1 minute.
But that was still only the front of the bush, not the other 3 sides or in the middle Olof the Buddleia bush. There was a heck of a lot more.
A tidy up first I think and a coffee....
Have a good day
Take care x
Rain - good for the garden, not so good for the party. Fingers crossed. Realise that I’ve forgotten to wrap OH’s present.
6.1 this morning. It’s taking a long time for me to wake up this morning but my head has already run several circuits and finished preparing everything. Now I just have to catch up.
I keep thinking about waiting 2 years for my next eye check. His positive thinking was good, but I don’t think I can wait that long. My sight is more or less what’s propelling me on this LC journey - I can’t take the chance of following Mum, my aunt and grandmother and risk losing it.
No 3 daughter is on a plane with her husband and children on a trip going back to the African country she finished school in. Friends have arranged transport and an itinerary for them. She’s very excited. At 18 we had trouble getting her to leave, but there was no way I was going to let her stay there. She cried the whole flight home- the cabin crew brought her tissues, eventually left the whole box.
It’s always a problem going to other countries with half grown daughters. They often want to stay on there. We’ve met up with daughters (nearly always the girls) of colleagues of OH who stayed on in different countries when the family left. No 2 daughter went back to Australia where she left her heart, and after 3 trips back she stayed there. A friend’s daughter stayed in Sweden, her cousin stayed in Turkey. We’ve met ‘remainers’ in Africa, Australia, UK and Jamaica. So when it came to getting No 3 to come back with us, I lied through my teeth. ) Told her that when we left, her visa would become invalid and she could be arrested. Mean but it worked.
@Debandez Thank you very much!@gennepher what a very special garden you have. I've only ever seen a couple of butterflies together at any one time . Your photos have captured their beauty perfectly.
Fingers crossed the rain stays off Viv...hope you all have a wonderful time at the party.Rain - good for the garden, not so good for the party
Over on the Diabetics R Us thread we have been pouncing and rolling on lawn blisters and popping them.

Good morning folks, 5.7 on the dice today, a Heinz score.
but right now her ladyship requires a cup of tea in bed.
