Warm Innit?

Hi Woofers!

Daisy here.

Hasn't it been a warm day? It was warm first thing this morning and had all the promises of getting hotter by the time we went out at lunchtime.

One thing we did see was a pleasure cruiser that was stranded on the mud flat, obviously turned right too early!

I said two points to starboard!

Lunchtime came and I rushed down to the sea front looking to get a cooling dip but there was an 'on shore' breeze that was picking up the waves and crashing them onto the shore!

Cooling it may be but too rough for swimming!

I ended up with wet paws but stayed out of the water in case I got swept out to sea!

We noticed that the boat was still in the same position as this morning, maybe it has decided to stay there for a day or two as part of a holiday! 

Going through the forest we were looking for that hover fly we found the other day. It's supposed to be quite common but all we saw was a small Hover Fly which there is loads in the forest!

A 'Standard' Hover Fly on the wing!

Old Two Legs has been packing up the last of the camera gear. He is going to take the big lens and tripod and with a bit of luck get a shot of an otter!

Tomorrow is the last day at home before our holiday then we will be off on Friday!

See you all tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.

Another puncture!

 Hello Woofers!

Another wonderful sunny here in North Kent and Old Two Legs has been sneezing his tail off today!

This hay fever thingy is a right pain. There I am, sitting down in the garden just looking at the flowers and snapping at the bugs as they fly past. I hear a sort of snuffle then OTL seems to explode and everything jumps up in the air, the bugs, the plants around the pond, the pond and finally me!

Life can be dangerous in this household!

The sunny day is a bit of a pain regarding photos cos unless you get out early in the morning or late in the evening, everything looks washed out.

OTL tells me it's called the 'Golden Hour'! Even playing with the white balance doesn't help.

It just doesn't work goes does it?

Your then left to photograph the flowers but even they look washed out or as in this shot, the flower hasn't got up yet!

Jack goes to bed at Noon hasn't woken up yet to go back to bed!

This other flower was awake but because of the sun, it still looks washed out!

 Normally this is a darker pink looking plant.

The only thing we saw that had some colour and excitement was these water scooter things that came tearing past. I was going to join them in a paddle but decided they were just too noisy!

What great fun, tearing along making a great noise and throwing spray all over the place!

When we got home there was a little notification on the dashboard saying one of the tyres was losing pressure, so, off OTL went to the Tyre Man and got the puncture repaired.

OTL says that three punctures in a week and a new tyre is making him paranoid!

See you tomorrow, another day closer to the holiday!

Luv,

Daisy.
