Raindrops on flowers

This morning I went up to catch the bus to go to the hotel and use the pool I went and posted a couple of letters first so was there a bit early, so took some pictures of the plants, it was fine drizzly rain this morning.



I had the pool to myself again, could get used to this, and managed to swim continuously for 25 minutes. I have also been trying to get across the small area with my head under the water, managed 8 strokes and got across today. I caught the bus to come home about an hour after I had got into the pool, so pretty good, took this picture walking down our road.
Webs look good, but not easy to catch with the light just right.
While I had a bit of a rest I decided it was time to try and clean the antique clock a bit. I love it anyway, but now it looks even better.

Donna is having a coffee morning at the studio tomorrow and I said I would make a cake. Made a few scones as well as Darren and Tina like having some cake in the kitchen. The cake took a bit longer to cook this time, but it turned out fine.
Took a photo of the triffid crocuses that are just getting bigger every day!
While I was out in the garden took some of the plants that still had droplets on them.


When the Ringtons man had been and the cake had cooled I took a walk up to the studio to deliver it, and to see how the mouse had turned out. My ankle has been sore, but not unbearable, maybe the injection is helping a bit, although I still haven't decided now I am going to sort out wearing shoes with backs again. Today my knee has been causing more problems, really doesn't want to bend at all, but I am working on the theory that the more I use it the better it will get - ever the optimist! Anyway, did walk up to the studio, the mouse is so cute, a few flaws where the brown underneath is showing, but as far as I am concerned it doesn't matter.

Last week I took the little fairy house I had decorated to Donna to give to Amy, who is five years old. What a lovely surprise to get a hand made thank you card from her, a rare thing these days, she is such a nice little girl.

I walked back via the north bay, a really beautiful afternoon and warm too.


So, a fairly busy day, a bit of a sunset this evening, but it didn't carry on or get dramatic.

    Well a very heavy picture day today! The water droplets always look good on plants, but you have to catch them at the right time with the right light. When you do, like you did, then you have to take loads :-) The bay looks lovely too. Great clouds, which makes the pic even better. The sunset might not look dramatic to you because you’re so spoiled with them, but to us mere mortals it looks very good!
    Glad you got out and about ok again today, albeit with a bit of pain, but you’ll crack it eventually I’m sure of it. Won’t be for want of trying if you don’t.
    Mrs Mouse looks fine. Didn’t see any brown bits in the photos until you took one to specifically point it out. The three of them will look good together.
    Love the thank you card :-)

    Yes, was a bit snap happy today, but liked a lot of the shots.It was beautiful and clear across the bay this afternoon, it is always a nice subject, but the light and clouds make a difference.
    I do really like the mouse, I think it will be difficult to fill in the gaps on the final one, which is a hedgehog!
    I was delighted with the card.
