After an early walk to the cash machine and Tesco I spent the next three hours doing laundry, cleaning and some garden jobs.

After lunch (on the garden bench again), a siesta.

Still no blip. The sun kept shining then disappearing behind cloud and the flowers were moving in the breeze . I found more jobs to do inside.

Eventually I took the camera into the garden and waited for moments of sunshine and stillness. This fern opening was my favourite over the flowers.
