Well, life might not be very exciting these days, but it is pleasant. An enjoyable "at home" day bathed in super warm sunshine in the company of neighbour friends - both the two legged and four legged variety. After sitting in the sun, which became uncomfortably too warm this afternoon, it was the first time this year that I got in the pool - even if I only swam four lengths - followed by neighbourly chat as everyone gathered around the pool in the late afternoon sunshine.

Pictured is Gece, our beautiful sweet good natured 'g(u)ard(en) dog. She belongs to no one but cared for by most of us.
