Had breakfast on my balcony to day, shared these days with the Pidges. but we have an agreement. They are here during the night and I reclaim this space during the day , esepcially when it is warm and today it is warm, hot even - the rusty old thermometre shows 38C I'm sure that's not to be trusted though

The petunias, I think they are petunias , that I planted yesterday smell gorgeous . They have a delicate sweet scent that tickles my nostrils and are the deepest bluey purple. A bumble bee is doing its work among the snap dragons. I can see swallows and hear the chatter of magpies and the cawing of seagulls. Last night I could swear there were bats flying overhead.

I can also hear the neighbour's little Tim laughing and playing on their balcony which is below mine . Earlier he was running and running around pitterpat pitterpat..very hiyper at times , he is, though quite and sweet most of the time .

Going to Haga Parken later to meet A-S.for a walk and Haga Bulle - a huge cardemon bun and pot of tea. Will post pics later.

Tarra for now
