I really want Carol’s luck for the Russia match — I predicted Spain to win, and I hope I’m wrong!![emoji23]
I think Russia’s luck and excitement of hosting FIFA won’t hold out today. They made a good show, but I’m thinking Spain will prevail.

Hot hot and Hotter today than yesterday. I opted out of another day of kayaking today on one of our favorite rivers - i don’t think two back-to-back days of sun exposure coupled with heat exhaustion is healthy. Today, some puttering around in our back SHADED garden areas.


That sounds a wise move.
I am pottering round our garden between laundry loads. Our insect house is starting to be occupied by solitary bees. Different species use different size holes and cap them with different materials.
In the bamboo cane, you can see some capped with leaves - these are Leaf Cutter Bee nests. Some are capped with a reddish coloured material and some very small holes with white material. The new bees will emerge next spring I think

While we were out yesterday, daughter made a flying visit home to eat all our French cheese and then scarpered [emoji849]
Actually, she came back to Kent to go out checking dormouse nests with her license supervisor ... there were babies [emoji7]

Normally i would do the same. Except it has been raining today. [emoji17]Mine is out on the line drying in the sunshineI love the smell of washing that has dried outside. It's a short season for doing it here in the UK unfortunately
Rain is good! You have had ample opportunity to dry stuff outside. Some wonderful wet stuff helping plants togrow and filling reservoirs is exactly what you need!Normally i would do the same. Except it has been raining today. [emoji17]
Looks like you all had fun.Here we are playing with kayaks, swimming, relaxing, floating
