Cloudy.

Cloudy again today. It was quite warm in the morning but then became chilly later on.

The sun put me in such a positive mood this morning as I sat on the wall basking in its warmth. I surveyed the new flowers and general growth in the garden with the beach, sea and two mountain ranges in the distance.  

While Peter was out rowing in the afternoon I made my vambraces (arm protector thingy). I'm glad I didn't find a leather coat to cut up as leather would have been much more difficult to cut and sew.

As I hung some washing out on the line I noticed many clematis shoots waving in the air so next I went round tying them all down.

I should be going to choir tonight but as the afternoon went on I began to feel cold and tired and had no enthusiasm for going out this evening. Instead I shall have a quiet evening at home.

A last set of photos from Sunday-

This red kite was not having a good afternoon. We had just watched it being harassed and finally chased off by two small, sparrow-sized, birds. And as soon as it left their territory along came a rook who carried on with the fight, diving and generally attacking the red kite until it flew right away.
