Evening light

Definitely my favourite time of day. And this buzzard seemed to be enjoying it too, swooping and soaring above us. This was taken on the way back from picking TallGirl up from a playdate with TallFriend. Surprisingly enough they spent the afternoon playing basketball and (not unexpected if you know them) 'rescuing' frogs (ie putting tree frogs in a bucket of water).

My day was largely spent digging a trench, with increasingly fewer layers of clothing as the heat grew - even though my garden is in the shade in the afternoon it was still too hot to be digging. The kids enjoyed their Easter eggs, and Mr B pottered around bemoaning the fact that he can't move on with his work because the shops are closed.

After yesterday's downpour, today was more like how I think of an Easter weekend. And saw our first G&T on the terrace this year. That can't be bad.
