fivemack | Look who came to the party

There was a special offer on lemons at Sainsbury's, and I remembered that various of my friends had expressed various levels of irritation at the way that all lemonade in shops contained artificial sweeteners, so I made up a large quantity of lemonade and threw a party.

[one coffee-cup full of sugar, one coffee-cup full of water; put in a pan on a gentle heat until all the sugar has dissolved; add one coffee-cup full of lemon juice, which is the juice of about six lemons; pour into a jug and allow to cool; pour a bit into a cup and add water, fizzy or not, to taste]

The party seemed to work fairly well; it was a lovely night, so I set up my telescope and we admired the moon, and

beckyc saw our visitor above while wandering indoors to pick up binoculars. After a little while, the hedgehog moved into the next-door garden, where she engaged in an uneasy, though hard to photograph, stand-off with the district cat.
