The “baby” Great Blue Heron has grown a lot in a month, from a little fluff ball to now almost as big as it’s parent (though, there’s only one baby now). This video shows it pestering a parent for food – sorry it’s poorly lit but the afternoon sun shines right behind the nest!
Dragon Schmagon 2014
This weekends big MINI meet is MINIs On The Dragon, but for owners not leaving the Sunshine State, James and Lori organized an alternative rally drive and pub crawl (links on Sunshine MINIs and facebook, which Margaret and I headed over to this morning. Happily the rain did not put everyone off:

The rally was not something that we’ve done before – a route list to follow, but with things to spot along the way (“what does TLC stand for”, “what’s on top of the green mailbox”, etc) – great fun! We missed a couple of the answers, but didn’t get lost. Following the rally was a nice burger pub lunch at The Half Wall Beer House.
The day continued with a “pub crawl” and more drinking – but Margaret & I bailed and headed back home. And I needed to give Black Knight a wash!
She looks much better for being clean, and the rain just about held off (a little extra drying needed once back in the garage!)

A fun day – thanks to James & Lori!
Paver curves
Today’s wet weather meant an early end to work, but before that maybe half the curve cutting around the pool was completed, as well as finishing laying pavers against the house. More work remains for next week, but the rain is finally leaving us so progress should be quicker now …
