A phenomenally sunny Geddes Quadrangle at Dundee University this afternoon. We were baking for the 20 minutes or so we were sitting there! Lovely spot.

This is my photo for once, snapped with my iPod. Difficult to get the light balance good, but I was struggling to see anything much on the device in the bright sunlight.

Grass and paths in between in front of an old red brick ornate building. Small hedges and beds of flowers are spread around. An ornate sculpture is just visible in the middle distance before the building. Sun was beaming down and the picture includes diagonal sun rays, especially visible across the building.

Oh my goodness. Martin has just decided to cut the grass before dinner. He's a very infrequent grass cutter. Which is nice for wildlife, including a virtually resident not our cat, and also the ecosystem. But he still needed to do his first cut of the year. Now underway. It will be many many weeks before the second one 😜

A hot day, so escaping to the fresh air of the garden in the late afternoon and evening. Surrounded by birds singing and the smell of flowers. I’ve asked Martin to bring me a glass of wine later!

First go using the new garden table in the back garden. Martin’s coming out to join me in a bit. It’s so hot today and getting out here is a real relief. Martin set up the folding table right at the back of our patio among the plants.

It’s a really lovely spot here, with some gorgeous plants and bushes. Very calming. Only taken us 20 years to get here and appreciate it!
