I decided to go for a guilt-free Sunday.
There are two ways to do this. One revolves round working myself to a frazzle so I don’t feel guilty about Julia working while I’m slacking at home.
The second involves heavy-duty skiving allied to a complete lack of conscience.
It wasn’t a hard decision, though I didn’t completely shake the guilt.
As a result I ended up buying fish for tea. She likes fish. I don’t. But I do like idleness, so it’s a sacrifice I’m prepared to make.
You never know, it may actually improve my brain-power, though Julia just went on record suggesting that it will take more than a piece of fish to show any significant improvement. She can be very cutting at times.
I will also let her watch The Woman in White without complaining. I think Collins is a great writer, and handles his material well. I just feel that the books show their age when it comes to matters like plot and length. Having read The Moonstone a while ago I’m in no hurry to repeat the experience.
I took a few shots whilst waiting for her to emerge from work, and a few more when I took her to the Mencap Garden. She saw a Common Blue, an Orange Tip and several whites. I saw a Brimstone and several whites. It’s a good year for butterflies, even if they weren’t cooperating for photographs.
I bought a power pack last year when I was in and out of hospital as I always seemed to be kept in when my phone battery was low. Of course, once I bought it, I never needed it. I’ve finally used it and can report that it recharged my Kindle to nearly 100% quite quickly, and my phone to 50% in about an hour. At that point I gave up and unplugged it. It’s still worth having, even if it was a bit slow.

Technology can be quite useful at times.
I have read this twice, and each time…I smile.
That’s good 🙂 Thank you.
I’ve hardly seen any butterflies as yet. It’s still very cold though, excepting the odd day.
We didn’t see any on Wednesday when we visited Bempton – it’s those Northern latitudes you know. 🙂
What a difference the light makes to photos. Those particular butterflies never keep still for me
The Orange Tip is a particularly tricky little sod. 🙂
Yes, yes! A butterfly safari. Can’t wait.
I’m going to start practising my stalking technique now. 🙂
You will have to improve your butterfly stalking skills if you are going to tease us with all these sightings.
The little chargers are very handy.
Yes, I’m planning a butterfly safari later in the year to rectify this situation.
The charger has proved to be very useful.
The first speckled wood here and a distant orangey thing that could have been a comma but it was too far away to be sure.
Nice butterflies – don’t recall a Speckled Wood or a Comma here in all the time I’ve been here.
