EIGHT YEARS 283 DAYS / DAY SIXTY-SIX: SUNDAY 8 SEPTEMBER 2024

Worked until the end taking it all down again. Mucky Weekender 2024. Then instead of driving back we went to the spa hotel we’d stayed at last year for shower and clean and dinner and cosy.

Another hot day at the summerhouse. Had friends over for lunch; dansk smørrebrød og sild og snaps. Afterwards a mandatory walk to the beach and this sunday, also a swim because of the warm weather (27 degrees Celsius).
After the guests left, went to the garden to pluck plums from our really tall plum tree, even with help from the ladder, it was only possible to pick the low hanging fruit.
After plum picking, I had a little perennial, that needed planted. To moist the ground before planting, I filled my Big watering can with water. But then looking down in the watering can, I saw a weird lump of fluffy fur and leatherlike thing.
A little bat, had been hiding in my watering can and was now swimming for its life.
Somehow got the bat out of the can, but it was all wet and shivering. Put it on top of some wood in a quiet part of the garden.
It was still shivering and looked very weak. Left it to give the bat some calm and peace, but when I returned 5-10 minutes later, it was laying completely still and motionless. I thought it was dead, but as a last resort, I breathed on it to warm it and dry the fur and after 1/2 a minute it woke up and quickly spread its wings and a flew away in a flash, so great to see it fly away (too fast for pictures 🙂 )
