Three peacock butterflies flew over the hedge yesterday as Lucy and I walked, gosh what abundance, in this one butterfly at a time I usually see around the garden. There was a orange tip male and also female flitting across the garden as well, it is so good to see the normality of spring happening.

The perfection of such creations, and think, spinning atoms have all created this. Red tailed bumblebees buzz around, the stitchwort flower makes a show against the nitrogenous fed grasses of the verge. Read Murmurrs blog on no ass - hole Warty Comb Jelly and wonder at how evolution works!
As I write this the tractor and tank have arrived, the new pump is to be fitted, well they have had an early morning start, the traffic must be so pleased with them ;) The two bantams have fled back to their run luckily as well.
Yesterday someone turned up for coffee, we have said to people in the village we have coffee at ten, so come along if you feel like it. Well I had only met this person the day before, so was slightly startled when the bell rang. He has only just recently moved into the village, has a small dog and an adorable year old daughter called D, (won't name just in case). He turns out to be a house ex-husband and has D by day and then she goes home to her mother.
Well he seems to dabble in a bit of everything, writing, poetry and painting, but I think he wants someone to babysit D, no, I gave up babysitting children with the last of the grandchildren. But he has said he will come every week maybe I will invest in some toys. D was lovely with Lucy who was not quite sure of this little creature scrabbling around and playing with her toys but her tail wagged most of the time and she was definitely intrigued.

News; How it changes in tone. I notice that there are many questioning the rush of money by billionaires to fund the restoration of Notre Dame but making the comparision with the terrible fire at Grenfell... Huffpost, a contrast between medieval benefactors and todays wealthy who are not prepared to fork out for human disaster.

There were three fires---caused by arson---of black churches in Louisiana in the past couple of weeks. When it became apparent that Notre Dame donations were going to be enormous, a go-fund-me was set up for the Louisiana churches. Over a million dollars have been raised. Just regular people, not billionaires, donating.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think ordinary people are so much better than governments when sorting values. Now we have the terrible tragedy in Sri Lanka, again churches though this time hotels as well.
