It's too hot to move

I could not agree more with Rosie! Only, she did not have to move if she didn't want to, whereas I did because I had to go to my physio session this afternoon.

The temperature had barely gone down 2°C during the night and it still felt very warm and humid outside when I opened the door to the balcony this morning.

Except for a few very brief sunny spells earlier in the morning, it had been overcast and rather gloomy, so I decided not take a camera with me this time. Also, some rain had been forecast and it looked like it could start any moment when I left the apartment. The only rain we had the entire day though were just a few spots when I was cycling to the physio therapist.

I might not have been able to get any good photos, but I regretted my decision not to take a camera when I was cycling home again along the stretch of water where I'd last seen the Great Crested family, because they were still in the same area and when I stopped to watch them for a few moments, one of the parents shook itself, which made the 3 babies tumble off its back and into the water. As far as I could tell, they seemed to be doing well.

Thank you so much for all the comments and stars on yesterday's Coots blip.
