 :thumbup: Noice. I like the jasmine best, but ours is dying slightly as I forgot to water the pots (our 'garden' is just pots on the pavement)

There's a bit of lilac round here but not much. My nana had a lilac tree in her garden when I was a kid so the smell always makes me think of Saturdays spent there every week getting up to daft shit with all my cousins - she was the matriarch of the clan so everyone piled round there while our mams were at work. She passed on a couple of years ago at 90, but one of my cousins still has the house with his partner and two young boys, the tree is sadly gone though. </nostalgia>  :)

Sad to hear the tree is gone.  But, Jasmine or other natural fragrances are always welcome.  It's amazing that certain scents or tunes bring up pleasant memories.   Gotta love it!

My grandmother had a lot of lilac in her yard,  I always loved that smell.

My phone is the only device I look at Facebook on. There's not as many ads and if you do get some that piss you off, you can always block them permanently. All in all, it's not bad on the phone.

It was more of what happened yesterday but, had a reunion with my colleagues, had a bit too much fun but of course had to also obey the 2 meter social distancing in the process. Was pretty awesome.

Took a walk down the hill to put out the garbage bins.  On the way back, a decent sized dragonfly landed on my left shoulder.  It's a warm day, so I'm sure it wasn't warmth it needed.  My t-shirt is yellow, so maybe that was it or it needed a wee rest.  The dragonfly stayed there for most of the trip back to my front door.  Then I went to my planter boxes and very gently shooed it off.  As it flew up, it saw a small fly and nabbed it in mid air, circled a bit and then flew off.  I said "good-bye my friend" and went inside. 

My t-shirt is one of my volcano ones and reads;  Pompeii was an inside job, followed by a stylized picture of an erupting Vesuvius, underneath it says; Impeach Emperor Titus  Investigate AD/79.    That is on the front and back of the shirt.  I've had some people do double takes reading it!   :LOL:

Enjoying a really good strong Earl Grey tea.....hot.  It's produced by a company called "Teapigs" and I found it at a local farm stand/gourmet store in Dover NH.  The taste of the bergamot is not over powering like it is in other commercial Earl Grey teas, like twinings.  The black tea part is strong with that nice finish of the bergamot.    Sipping tea watching and listening to a storm, life is good.
