Cricket anyone?

It’s been a lovely day, which has been spent mostly outdoors, although I did have to go to the osteopath this morning.  He asked how my knee was, and I looked at him blankly, then remembered that for years I’ve had a knee and hip niggle caused by the sciatic nerve.  It’s gone and I have no idea when.

Lots of butterflies in the garden (see extra) and a couple of dragonflies hoovering up insects but not landing.  This cricket was sitting on one of the outside cushions and sat very quietly while I took some pictures.
