Cooler.

Still sunny but not quite as hot today. In the morning the first signs of high cloud began to appear bringing a bit more of a chill to the air as the day went on. 

Straight after breakfast I went out and cut the bottom hedge with the electric trimmer as it was looking quite shaggy. In fact it seems that the blackbirds have abandoned the nest in the other hedge. Although we kept away the general to-ing and fro-ing in the garden must have been too much disturbance. They still come for the seeds and frequent baths in the birdbath so I guess they've found a quieter spot to build a nest.

 

Later it was time for our Welsh class. One strange fact we learnt today that the word for beard- barf (barve) is feminine. It is important to know if a noun is masculine or feminine as adjectives following a feminine noun (in Welsh the adjectives goes after the noun) needs to have a soft mutation (letter change) if it starts with one of the 9 letters that mutates. Yep, Welsh is complex.

I had rushed through all the things that needed doing so that I could enjoy a break outside before disco aerobics but although I did sit outside I needed a fleece to keep warm.

Hardy geranium Ann Folkard - I grew it in Devon but lost it over the two moves so when I saw it growing in  friend's garden last year I asked for a piece which is now flowering.
