Busy day changing beds ready for the weekend visitors. A lovely day so all washing dried beautifully outside.
Three good things:
1. A gift of a bottle of water from the arriving B&Bers. There is a bug in the water in our area & we have been told not to drink the water out of the tap. Even cleaning teeth is taboo. Of course all the shelves have been stripped of water supplies but luckily our visitors had been forewarned by the son they are visiting & had stocked up on their way north.
2. BBQ tonight ....the weather was warm enough to sit outside.
3. Stuart Broad.
Sorry folks I am struggling with a flat battery tonight! I have no long lead so having to stand up to comment while charging....a little slow & I am watching TV at the same time.
Those stripes almost look painted on... great shot.. bad news about your water.. hope that gets sorted soon.. would be a hard habit to break not to even clean your teeth under a running tap..
@julzmaioro I have had to give the B&Bers a small bottle of boiled tap water to clean their teeth with won't be sorted until next week apparently. The bug is called Cryptosporidium & has been found in the Frankland water treatment plant near us.
This is such a marvelous and fun shot, Pat. Love it!
What a major inconvenience your water situation must be. Can you boil your tap water for use in cooking? I'm going to have to google cryptosporidium...sounds like something I wouldn't want to ingest. :(
@peggysirk yes I have boiled some but boiled water is not that nice to drink....Harry had some at lunchtime but it looked dead in the glass somehow! The bottled water is much better. We have lovely soft water in the north west of England & it's very nice to drink straight from the tap normally.
As you say an assortment of legs, the stripy ones are eye catching. I do hope you get the problem with the water sorted out , we take it so for for-granted
The back of people is not always a good look but a number of backs make a good picture for here. Its not hard to guess what they are doing. I agree boiled water tastes dead - wonder what it is that the boiling does! Now I'm going to find out who or what Stuart Broad is - could be a man, a river, a type of bread, a type of pottery..... I will find out!
Great shot and well spotted. What a pain with the water supply. They had the same problem with cryptosporidium in Sydney a couple of years ago. Lots of people got sick.
Great composition Pat and good in B&W. Fav from me. I guessed your water would be affected. I'm surprised you haven't been supplied with bottled water. When our water was cut off completely for three weeks we were supplied with bottles for drinking.
