A Cicada

Phew it's hot!  And very muggy!  It's hard to get anything achieved when it's this hot.  The good thing is we are in for some rain tomorrow, which will hopefully lower the temperature and make it a bit more bearable.

I was outside getting the washing in when I saw this cicada clinging onto the towel.  They're gorgeous wee things, but can make a heck of a noise.

Last day of the year tomorrow.  Where has the year gone?
