Nothing of note to report today. Mum said earlier this afternoon that her legs weren't quite so bad today, but now - at half past ten - she has gone to bed in agony again.

I worked hard this evening with the shears completing a mini trim-up of the enormously long hedge along the frontage of the bungalow. I swear it's growing again as soon as my back's turned.

Not many butterflies in the garden, in the past few days I've only seen four types which are all relatively common in England. Here's a Peacock, which was one of only three butterflies that could be seen flitting around this morning. Photo taken on my iPhone 5s, therefore no zoom used - I had to get very close but the Peacock was quite happy with that.
