I'm trying to clear the decks of paperwork over the next week or so, to take July off as much as I can. Once August comes, I'll be working on the auction catalogue, which takes weeks, so this is my best chance.
It's hot out there, but not in the house. There is only one window that faces south and the main rooms are west-facing, with one east and west and the other being east and south. So it's never oppressively hot, unless I've forgotten to open my bedroom window in the evening for an hour or two before bed.
I spend my early morning and evening time listening to birdsong. I'm having another go at identifying different birds - I don't have a very good ear for it, but have realised how many different ones we have. A linnet, for instance. I've never seen one in the garden, but according to Merlin, it's out there. I was told, by the guys who came to inspect the bells at the church, that jackdaws had been nesting in the church tower, which surprised me as I've never noticed any, but yes, now I know what they sound like, we've got 'em. Learning birdsong will be my mission for the rest of the nesting season.
