It’s going to be a hot day. 31C

I’ve just been up the garden once again to take a few photos for my FB page.
It is already very warm.
Clear blue sky.
Stillness.
I’ve opened all the windows and the doors of the summerhouse.
After lunch I have been invited to a friend’s house to sit in her garden.
Hope she will have a rather large patio umbrella. Although it is a big garden with some trees.
I’ll need to water ours this evening.
There is then a forecast drop of temperature overnight by 10 degrees to 21C.
Our topsy turvy weather.

Here are  the Nature Notes from The Times this morning 
"One by one our song birds have fallen silent for another year. Now, only the song thrush is still singing in the village gardens. For a little longer, those who sleep with windows open will be roused by the most harmonious of pre-dawn alarm clocks. A typical thrush uses up to 100 phrases, some inherited from parents, some stolen from other birds, and some borrowed from us. Urbanites lucky enough to live with a resident pair of song thrushes will hear this species at its finest. Studies suggest that city thrushes have the richest repertoire. They take our car alarms, HGV reversing beeps, ringtones, and sweeten them into music.
