I actually did email 'Newswatch' yesterday afternoon, that is a first. I dd feel strongly about the lack of recognition of the wheelchair winners at Wimbledon after the centre court wins. I think I may not have been the only one as the news this morning was saying that there were four British winners at Wimbledon yesterday! Great sky again yesterday, not brilliant colours but pretty dramatic.

That second one looks like a dogs head to me!! This morning it was raining so Tina took me to the pool which was good. I did have a swim and then walked back through the park. Loving the willows as I went by the entrance to the glen.

My willow in the garden is not looking happy, I have sprayed it twice now trying to control the aphid attack. As I was leaving the park I was interested in the stain on this tree. Looked like something had seeped out, but very dark.

This afternoon Tina brought home a mass of donated flowers that were looking well past their sell by date, in fact they had been massively reduced before being given away. I put them in a bowl of water to let them have a good drink for a while before I put them in containers.

The red ones were looking particularly droopy. They are now in three vases, all of which I have made or decorated which is nice!

I think the gladioli will be fine and the others have perked up quite well. I have had an afternoon in doing a few chores, not feeling over motivated to do anything constructive this evening. No tennis to watch now either!
