The dry

Did I mention that when I was running I saw for the very first time that part of a river was completely dry?
Well, this is the grass on the park!

I have never seen anything as bad as this! I don't think the famous 1976 heatwave was as bad. Though my memory of that is rather sketchy. Involved me being told why I could not use the hose to water the plants.
It's so quiet outside. Except when the starlings visit.
Oh and except when the crows in the park are mobbing a raptor. There was either a buzzard or a sparrowhawk in the lime trees. Now, the wings looked buzzard shaped, but I did not think it was that big. Whatever, the Driveways and the Unbraves were very annoyed. I left food but I did not see anyone, except for this squirrel, take any!


Oh dear -- the drought.
