Confined to Barracks

Stayed at home for the Bank Holiday weekend rather than try and drive through the ranks of the invading Grockles, other than a BBQ with Graham on Saturday which was a nice diversion. Walked from home out to Mountbatten Pier and then back to Oreston. Then rather ruined all the good exercise by overindulging in the food and wines on offer.

Today was more productive with a bit of gardening and tidying up the back garden, which was enlivened by the appearance of a garden first, a Golden Ringed Dragon and for once it hung around long enough for me to fire off a few record shots.

Evening has been topped off sat outside in a pleasant temperature with the Bat Detector which enabled me to pick out a group of Bats patrolling the back hedge taking moths on the wing. I spent about 25 minutes in all watching their antics

Now back to reality and up at 5.30 tomorrow for an early start at work. Roll on retirement!
