Monty in the lavender

The garden is now chock-full of Montys - somehow we started calling them Monty even though I think most are female. They are bloody ginormous.

No sign of the ever so important statement yesterday - good thing I didn't cancel my plans - would have been for nothing. A slight headache all day unfortunately - probably the tiredness and dehydration yesterday. Lay down after Zumba to try and clear it but wouldn't shift. And over-hot and muggy all day. Thunderstorms predicted for the night.

My sister T and B arrived in the evening to stay over as T has an appointment at the embassy tomorrow. Gins and a smorgasbord supper in the warm evening outside. Followed by over-ripe camembert, watermelon and the most amazing Italian chocolates. Still no sign of any statement.

3 good things
1. First Zumba after holiday and the knee behaved itself.
2. Lots of nice fruit from the International Supermarket - apricots, plums and watermelon - had with feta for lunch.
3. Potatoes from the garden as part of our smorgasbord.

Monty seems industrious! The web shows nicely.

Great shot but I would have moved house; spiders terrify me. Monty looks rather large and incredibly healthy.

Great shot of Monty and his web. Not something I’d like to see in the garden

Fab shot of Monty - tried to get my own Monty the other day without great success

ok, not as scary as I thought.

@yaorenliu no they're not really big in the scheme of things, they just have these really big scary bellies and scores of them have spun webs all across the path in the garden ready to entrap you!
