The buddleia on the edge of the patio, more familiarly known as a butterfly bush, is beginning to flower, and, as the name suggests it would, it attracts a butterfly. Lovely on the patio. Twenty-three in the shade but 40 in the direct sun. Don’t stay long in the direct sun but the clothes on the rack dry pretty quickly.
And, in the only in Cyprus department - well, some other countries are possible - an ambulance ran into a herd of wild donkeys on a main road on the Karpaz peninsula last night. Driver and passenger ok and the donkey they hit in good enough shape to run away. Ambulance apparently badly damaged. LGC news source adds a note: There is a population of around 1,000 wild donkeys. Which are under the protection of the Turkish Cypriot government. They are free to wander in herds over an area of 300 square kilometres (120 square miles) [Wiki]. We have in fact encountered wild donkeys in that part of the country but we weren’t driving at the time and they were just being curious - and hoping for handouts.
