Showers.

Quite grey today with a number of heavy showers.

I delayed driving to the zoo until the first batch of showers were over but still spent five hours weeding my way over a muddy patch of gravel. Sometimes even I think I'm a bit odd choosing to spend so long on my hands and knees but I enjoy being outside with my thoughts and weeding isn't exactly hard. Plus there's the satisfaction of seeing the whole area clear of weeds. At times I worked in my big workman's coat while at others I shed both coat and jumper. One heavy shower had me sheltering under the roofed in outdoor cafe area but even there I found weeds to uproot. Usually I won't do that area because the gravel is sparse and the weeds rampant.

I was putting my tools back in the car and was about to pick up my camera for a walk around when along came another heavy shower. So I just got in the car and came home without taking any photos.

Once home I felt very weary and my mug of decaff coffee failed to wake me up. 

 Went out during a dry spell and took some photos in the back garden.

As promised here are more photos of The Knife Angel.
