Saturday 15th June

 Ah, it must be April! A day of wind, and rain, and sunshine all by turns throughout the day.

I'm just wondering about all the hundreds of soaking wet uniforms to be dried out after the trooping of the colour today. Not to mention the bearskins, and those heavily embroidered cloths on the horses... Still it was a Jolly Good Show. I'm glad King Charles and Princess Katherine were kept nice and dry throughout, and I do admire Princess Anne for deciding to ride. I hope she was wearing thermals...

We visited my father just before lunch. While I waited for him to come down from his flat I saw this beautiful rose outside the entrance to the flats.

It's not a great picture as it was pretty gusty. I just wanted to record that lovely yellow fading out to pink at the edge of the petals.

Once again it wasn't a good day for going out...

This was the garden moments after some brilliant sunshine e which had raised my hopes...

So it was back to the jigsaw (time to go, BB so that I don't spoilit for you!)

I've sorted out the rest of the whimsy pieces 

and finished the sky, and separated out all the edge pieces i could find. There will be more, as some edge pieces are literally just a point.

That's it for today.
