We noticed this on the lavender and leek heads last week. They look
asleep. Nick seemed amused and a little surprised, but not concerned.
I'll ask him if it's normal.

Odd though, that we noticed it now and you noticed it now, so it's
obviously (maybe) not been happening before ...

I've seen it often over the years, some settle in mid afternoon, as long
as they don't want TV and tea making facilities.
