At least one gently sloping area at the edge is not only a safety route out, it attracts birds and insects for a drink and a cool off when it gets really hot.

My small garden pond has been a very popular place for the local bird and insect life. Two woodpigeons taking a bath at the same time.

Woodpigeon says always have a gently sliping shallow zone in your pond for us birds.

A local crow has just been for a drink and a shower. I had wondered why the pond grass was flattened. This crow prefers a shower to a bath.

Just had a golfinch and a dunnock visit the garden pond for a drink. Phone camera shot. Dunnock on the pebbles.

This woodpigeon is taking an extended bath in my pond. This is a popular spot today.

My 2 by 1 metre pond has become more of a very wet bog with shagnum moss, cotton grass, marsh marigold, flag iris, and water mint, as well as afew orher plants. A nice bathing spot for birds when it is full.

If you are ever in Leicester - Jewry Wall museum is an 8 minute walk from the clock tower. Go down the High Street and keep going until you see the Roman wall on your right. www.jewrywall.com

Jewry Wall. A remaining part of Roman wall with more remaining wall foundations marked out on the ground.

So midnight last night Belle sat at the bottom of the stairs, looking up the stairs. So I went upstairs to see what the problem was. She foolowed me up and jumped onto the corner of the bed where she likes to sleep and curled up. She just wanted to go to bed. This picture is her this morning.

Flowers are a lovely gift to somebody else or to yourself. When I see the wastefull way the super rich live, nobody should feel guilty buying a bunch of flowers. Best wishes.

The snowdrops are coming up on the allotment. They were here before the allotment and continue to thrive.

For those lucky enough to be cloud free for the aurora. Follow the link for explanation www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.p...

Aurora by latitude. Normal at the poles, through cool and exiting, someone should go check on our satellites, to at the equator a bunch of open questions in solar-terrestrial physics are about to be answered.

Nice and comfy. Belle arranges the cushions on the settee to her own liking.

I came across this hairy orange caterpillar with black and white markings eating one of my rhubarb leaves. I've never seen one before so I will let it live. I suppose eating rhubarb leaves makes it taste bad for the birds. 🙂 🌱

They have a whole section on Gaza on the main toolbar. It was on the first page of that. They are not ignoring the issue. Please note that Ukraine has not been forgotten either. There are other issues they need to report on too.

We had an amazing night here in the UK last year. I was lucky enough to notice it and the sky was clear for a change. Overhead it looked like an explosion of colour.

I can't take credit, this was my dad's work. Here is another example, clematis and wisteria.

Here is my cheap way to view the sun using old binoculars.

If you want to see the sun and have an old pair of binoculars, this set-up is a safe way of seeing sunspots. This was seeing the transit of venus. NEVER look through the binoculars at the sun, or look directly at the sun without perfect condition eclipse glasses.
