cowslips, vetch like lilac broom
red dead nettle, nettle
buttercups
red campion
white cow parsley grasses
layers of green - blunted by dryness of late summer
distant whites playing cricket cows, sheep grazing
dry mud
dogs barking
bees - flies zipping past

other birds beginning to settle down
warm dry august early evening
background drone of cars, aeroplanes
smell of... dryness

Strange feeling when you know you are dreaming but almost awake.. and the dream doesnt make sense and you keep looking for it to make sense and then you wake up and reallise it was a dream. remember in my dream swimming out to sea not really sure why i was there and reallised had no back up boat, it was getting dark and not sure where the person was i was swimming with and dilemma to find the person or go back to the shore without them, then reallised possibility they had already turned back and i should too. remember worrying about sharks but dont think there are any round here
funny thing reallise this is a memory of something that really happened that had forgotton about ...with friends, swimming of the shore late November, hadnt thought about the tides, we all got back ok but i was the last ..the tides were so strong and as it was getting dark all directions looked the same. someone came back in to help me. afterwards we walked back along the beach and noticed that the boxes with life rings were broken and life rings missing
The Olympics is drawing towards the end, must be tough for athletes competing at the very end
today is one of the few days this summer - no wind, no rain and no cloud in the sky.. but bad weather for so long means few plums or apples on the fruit trees but the hibiscus is flowering and bees buzzing round lavender and the garden at night smells of honeysuckle. less birds too this summer.
found kenny sitting in the grass almost completely still when i went up to him, then saw big eyes of live baby rabbit underneath him. not sure what kenny was up too.. whether he thought he'd turned into a chicken and sitting on his nest .. but the baby rabbit broke for freedom with kenny running after it and me running after kenny
Funny sort of day.... a butterfly landed on my nose, thats never happened before, it sort of tickled. Two Gold medals, a Silver and a Bronze for the UK team, Boris left hanging on a zip wire, i say nothing but he was flying the flag and the exhaust on my car blew and sounded like i was driving a hot rod and Kenny made another trip to the vet in a little white van and seems to be getting better
