Sunny.

All is quiet in the blackbird's nest with no more constant back and forth by the parent birds so I guess the youngsters have left. I took this photo a couple of days ago and they looked ready to go. No doubt after a bit of a break the female will be back in there sitting on eggs.

Earlier this morning I saw this squirrel up in the tree. The sunlight is making him look almost brown. The day started sunny so I did a couple of loads of washing and hung them out on the line. Then just before I left for work ominous grey clouds were gathering. I brought everything in and naturally it stayed dry. I came home fairly quickly after work and hung all the washing back out again and now it is nice and dry. 

This morning I got on with preparing the kitchen door for painting. I'm still at the sanding stage and even though my sander sucks up the dust there is now a fine layer of resin dust over all the kitchen. Perhaps it would have been better to  unscrew the door and work on it outside but I worry that being so old the screws will either not come out or not go back in afterwards. Too late now for regrets.

When I came home from school I decided to enjoy the sun so I sat outside and carried on with my knitting project.
