I rather like being an invalid. It is a justification for sloth. However, pleasingly for my self esteem, on Sunday morning I want to get up and go for a walk. It is a glorious day. June is busting out all over.

There is a wonderful walk around Zakimi castle which features a wooden staircase that winds through butterfly loud glades. Flowers and butterflies are everywhere.

Coo!

Golly!

Gosh!

Morning Glory everywhere

So I sit in the glades and watch butterflies lead their lives. I do not understand what they are doing but it looks like fun. There are very large white butterflies floating around that I try to photograph in flight. I fail.

Having a rest. This thing has a 5 inch wingspan

Looking up

This is a tree

The path leads to a pagoda on top of the hill that has a view over the sea.

I sit and look at the sea listening to In Our Time, a BBC podcast. Very interesting discussion of Ulysses.
