Some fly, and some don't

I almost took a picture of the blue sky this morning as I was walking outside Buckingham Palace and then through Green Park.

The sky is amazingly empty: no planes and not even a single smoke trail across the sky. Only a few fluffy clouds. Just like nature intended.

Last night we didn't witness the promised 'lavender sunset'... it was fairly disappointing.

I saw Miranda as I was leaving home this morning. She was very excited.

It's a big day for her and Lynne as they are driving down to the south coast to get their honey bee colonies.
They'll be driving back in their white bee suits in a car with thousands of bees. Oh, if I could only be(e) a fly and be there to watch!

They both found spots on garden allotments where to keep them: the week-end is going to buzz with excitement!

'Lavender' sunset

Well they did promise us spectacular sunsets - courtesy of Iceland's newest export - but it was just hype!

I waited tonight on London Bridge and this is what I saw:

 
(the building on the left is where I work)

(as you can just see in this picture, the moon is a tiny sliver so no chance of a big, purple moon tonight either)





Still, it's always pleasant to spend some time by the river and to stop and look at London every one and then, instead of just rushing through it.
