The last day of summer

I fear we may just have had it. Still, I managed to do the laundry which is key if tomorrow's thunderstorms come as promised. I have spent this last day of summer like this:


Partly because my back is a bit bust and I can't do anything else and partly because lazing in the sunshine is what August is for. Such a location automatically leads to productive knitting and I have (at last) finished the blue part of the second Frenchmans' Creek sock:


I'm currently 4 1/2 repeats around the lace edging at the top - fingers crossed I might get it finished tomorrow.

I also met a new kind of bug in the garden - can you see her?

A little lady-bird golf ball from Father Christmas which got a little delayed!

The blogging world as a whole has gone pretty quiet so I'm assuming that you're all enjoying the sunshine!
