Cistus flower

I took this photo of a Cistus flower in my Mother's garden, early this  morning, (as I guessed I wouldn't  get much chance of a blip later), before I dashed off to my Aunty's flat to meet a heating engineer whom I had  arranged to come to attend to a small fault with the boiler. He hadn't been there  long, working on the boiler in the kitchen, when water started dripping  through the ceiling, in two places. I raced upstairs to the flat above, where I discovered the owners  had turned on their washing  machine. QED- it was now clear to everyone that we had identified the cause of the earlier water leak! 

Soon after the heating engineer departed, having fixed the  problem, my Aunty's very good friend, A, popped over with a cake she had made for me and Martin,and  we made a final agreement over some furniture we were having moved from the flat to her home, later today.
Then Martin arrived, having come by train, and we had  a quick  lunch, before  the man and van came to collect the  furniture. We spent the afternoon sorting out more clothes, books, and other textiles for the local charity shop and textiles  bin. Then an EPC surveyor arrived to do a survey of the flat; some detective work was required to find the meters and it was fun discovering aspects of  the flats we didn't know! 
Finally got away about 6.30pm. Exhausted this  evening, especially after a long phone call to my sister, but at least it's been a productive day.
