Struggling to get through artichoke

Difficult to capture as insects and bees seem to enjoy scrambling around the artichoke flowers and were thus hidden from view.

Incredibly hot for working moving things. Over 30 all day and not a cloud in sight.

Took 2 loads of rubbish and bottles to bins.
Shopped for salad stuff and black bread.

Made lots of phone calls.
Finally got a blacksmith appointment.
The brocante people came and took the furniture they’d selected before.
