A fan of Fennel

Hairdresser's this morning and although my new lady is cutting it ever shorter, she does a very good job.  Hopefully I'll weigh less for a little while.

The blinds are down and curtains drawn on all south facing windows as it gets ever hotter, and the doors into the conservatory from the lounge are firmly shut.

I planted fennel a couple of years ago, not realising how big it would get, and it's in completely the wrong position in the border.  However, I did buy another which is in a pot and hopefully I will be able to dig this one out in the autumn and plant the other in a suitable location.  

The insects love the fennel and I've been working hard with the Olympus's pro-capture feature to get wasps in flight, but they keep going out of focus.  I know it works well with birds and squirrels, but I'd like to get a wasp perfectly sharp (before it gets me).  This is as good as it gets just now.
