It was a bit wet here before lunch.
This is not a photo of a pane of glass with water running down it. There is no glass. There is, however, a lot, and I do mean A LOT of rain. The garden getting a good soaking.
Times like these, I'm really glad I put a drip system throughout my garden 🌱
Lighthouses built in the sea or remote rock formations jutting out of the sea always leave me impressed.

Schrodinger's low block
If (IF...) England wins tomorrow, they are in for a very tough game against Switzerland.
Only potential silverlining is that Italy may be making Switzerland look better than they are, because, by God Italy are absolute gash.
