A walk in the mountains today before it became too hot. Ellie thought it was great fun chasing tiny lizards.

I guess I am lucky to be an earthy Taurean to appreciate all the nature and skies around me. We had good weather until the afternoon when it started to become humid again. Nothing else for it but the pool!

In the evening we were looking for the Perseid meteor showers but the moon was so bright.

While we were star gazing and taking pictures of the moon, we could hear Ellie barking, which she rarely does. She was in another garden and eventually I went to see what the problem was. Another baby hedgehog, rolled up in a ball  and she was just standing there barking. Of course as soon as I went to her, the ball (hedgehog) was in her mouth and she was running around with it! I made her drop which she did, very suddenly, poor hedgehog. Mal moved it behind the fence into another garden. Mal said the prickles were really sharp, I don’t know how Ellie keeps it in her mouth!
