After 2 weeks, much of which was a bit blurry thanks to heavy duty pain meds, I made it outside for a breath of fresh air. It was absolutely wonderful after being confined indoors. I paid for my ‘jaunt’ a little later but it was worth it. Our Lemon Myrtle and Lemon Verbena are flowering - so pretty. And there are loads of flowers so the bees were everywhere as busy as … as the proverbial! I found one poor thing ‘swimming’ in the bird bath. I put my finger under him and he clung to me. I put him gently in the garden where he dried off with much fluttering of wings and flew away. We also visited the naughty corner where Lindsay failed Douglas Adams Flying 101. To quote the man himself: “There is an art, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss … “ Clearly, it is this second part, the missing the ground, which presents the difficulties. This we discovered as we crashed landed over 2 weeks ago. Needless to say I’m not encouraging either of us to practice the knack of flying again!
