"It aint 'alf 'ot Mum"

Sorry to keep going on about the weather, we are supposed to have moved away from that English outlook. However we just couldn't resist sharing this picture of Yoda with you. John went up to the cement mixing area (some people just have to keep going) and found this little head sticking out of the tarpaulin which covers the cement mixer.





We have eventually done a little bit more on the serpentine path but quite honestly, at 9 o'clock this morning the cement was going off quicker than we could lay the sets. Perhaps I should point out that with my "exacting eye" they require a lot of minor adjustments before I am satisfied.

We have been watching this swallowtail butterfly working the lavender bush for the last couple of days, it doesn't seem affected by the 34.4 in the shade temperatures.
