Day 282: Preparing For Winter

These Ladybirds are hiding in the curled up leaves of the bush in the front garden.  There are at least 3 others behind the one I'm focused on.  I once saw Ladybirds hiding in the curled up seed pods of a gorse bush and found it amazing that that was enough to keep them sheltered for the winter.  I hope they survive.

Day 228: Measuring Up

We were building rockets in the shed when this wee guy decided to join us.  He had a good look round the instructions for the kit my dad is building and inspected the fins on the V2 before walking along the ruler.  I got him back on the ruler and took him outside and after another wee wander up and down the ruler he was off.  I hope the balsa dust didn't do him any harm - it had me coughing and sneezing all afternoon!
