Having a bath

Just as dusk was falling I spotted this blackbird in the birdbath. His tail feathers are all out of focus as he was enjoying a splash but his head was quite still.

Another day of horrid weather enlivened by lunch with two former colleagues. Plans made for future meetings so more to look forward to. It's never really stopped raining all day and, although in its favour, the weather isn't cold it's just too miserable to go out again for yoga tonight. The four year old will be here soon for her sleepover, there are potatoes baking in the oven, an apple crumble will join them soon and that'll be that.
