One of life's little pleasures

OK, so it's a little pleasure, but we do enjoy watching the hundreds of Swifts and House Martins in their spectacular, ritualistic evening 'dance'. At times they fill the sky, turning this way and that, presumably feeding on insects as they go. If you are in the pool, you can expect to be dive bombed as they scoop up water. Missing your head by inches, as they dare you to enter their domain. It's all quite entertaining, with the exception of having to clean the droppings from the pool later. Talking of pools, I spend the morning cleaning ours and also ensuring that our neighbours' new pool is filled to the right level. They arrive on Sunday so it will be a nice surprise for them, because they have not seen it yet.

Whilst she feels better in herself, Jan's leg is still very, very painful. So we pop to the doctor who is quite concerned and who puts her back on antibiotics, telling her to continue the injections for another 10 days and to get the nurse to start dressing her leg. Poor old thing. (Not so much of the old - Jan)
