June is bursting out all over....

You can say that again. And again.  I have never had so many spikes on the Rogersii.

New trellis up for the burgeoning Clematis.

And the other Clematis, alongside which is the second Rogersii, also throwing up more spikes.

I planted 150 Allium bulbs.  No way have I got 150 Alliums come up!  Not even a quarter of them, ah well, they have made up for my disappointment.  I do have a sample of each one, but not all out yet.

A lovely sheltered sun trap.  I only discovered this while staggering, to the left of the lilac tree, to the compost bin heaving a trug full of weeds.

I thought, "Hey up, this is a lovely, sheltered sun trap."  So dragged a few chairs across.

But didnt dare sit on them as I would never have got up again.

I do think that it must be down to the funny weather we have had that everything is flowering like mad.  

"This could be the last time we blossom!"

Just all of a sudden there's flowers everywhere you look.

Sadly the DP went a bit mad with the weather being warm, sunny, windless and now been diagnosed with sciatica and loaded up with pills.  Having read the blurb that comes with pills these days, too much information......  I shall be surprised if he survives.

Howsomever, he was told today, best cure is to walk.  So no excuse tomorrow when I kick him out of bed.

It was his excuse to justify the boat trip he went on at the weekend.  Our insurance man just got himself a new Rib, No his name is not Adam, tis a boat.  That goes very, very fast.  And no doubt where our insurance money went.

By the time you have all the safety gear, inflating body suits, life saver efforts you couldnt walk very far anyway.

So off they bounced.  These Ribs dont sail smoothly across the briny, they bounce. Very fast.  Up the coast to Pennan.  Made famous in the filum, "Local Hero".  

Once the boat stopped bouncing the cameras were released from their waterproof safe.

The real reason for the jaunt.  Taking photographs.  Guillemot.

Puffin.

My favourite, above, Gannet.

Do you think I should be seeking therapy?  I cannot stop drawing and painting Gannets.  OCG.

Nearly finished.

TWO posts in one day!

Theres  no hope, I think I need a therapist?  This morning I went out for some retail therapy.  Achieved -tick.  Cappuccino, best place is the Lighthouse Museum, on the way through to the cafe I sold a few tickets to the museum.......staff absorbed in displaying 2014 calendars.

Staff struggling with new till EPOS system and stocktaking to be done TOMORROW.  Volunteered to come in to give them space and time to do same.

Enjoyed cappuccino while watching school child on work experience taking money and placing scone on plate without using tongs, offered to do a bit of food handling training.

Came home.  Shed/opera theatre/art studio/drinking den and now thanks to Mum's Simply Living blog. ! a dance studio, I was sent to tapdancing lessons as a child and loved it.  Then the money ran out which it frequently did, so I now have segs on my slippers, so I can tip tap around the shed!!!!!

Me time, work in progress, a Puffin emerging from his/her burrow.  Did you know Puffins dig burrows, like rabbits?  Well they do.  I just loved the image and had to paint it.  Lots more to do, probably ruining it.....   Sadly due to the weird weather we have had many Puffins have died.

Fingers crossed many survive, including my painting.

My art blog justjillukart.wordpress.co.uk  has more paintings.

Think I am all posted out now.
