Before the Rain...

I had to stay at home all morning (it was nicely sunny) as I had a smart meter fitting appointment. They arrived about 11am & promptly told me I might need to be in all day...'depending.' I said that wasn't possible & they replied that after they fit the smart meter, they have to stay to check that everything is 'talking to each other.' And, they have to stay in the house.
No chuffing way was the response in my head so I smiled politely and said no. 
They then said, 'Oh that's ok, we don't really need to stay.'...Hmm?!

Anyway, they wore face masks and were done in about one and a half hours. I went out for a walk but the clouds, thunder & lightening rolled in with a lot of rain & so I didn't get very far.

This pic was taken this morning before the rains - a small white feeding on verbena 'lollipop.' The extra is two of them :)
