The new workbench and the dragonfly

Regular visitors to this blog may recall this post from the beginning of June, in which I laid a concrete floor in the old house and lamented the passing of time. After a few tough weeks at work, yesterday I finally had a day off and could build the workbench I’d been looking forward to building since I laid that floor (in the concreting pictures, you can just make out the metal supports for the legs of the workbench). My local builder’s merchant has a nice, large-ish vice that has my name on it. Finally, I’ll soon be able to organise all of my power- and hand-tools in one place, and there’s nothing like that feeling of satisfaction when things get properly organised.

So, I’m afraid you have to scroll through two pictures of the workbench before you get to this week’s beautiful garden pictures. Every week it seems like new flowers bloom and more little visitors arrive. Today, a pair of dragonflies came zipping by, one of which alighted on a garden stick for the few seconds I needed to snap him. Take care and have a good week you lovely people!
