These are the flowers available but I lucked out with the light. 

I did one fun thing today. I wrote up case studies for a work event that I am unfortunately in charge of. We wanted to disguise details so people would focus on the problem so we made up country and company names based on the countries surrounding Wakanda. It was a brilliant idea of the person I was working with and someone who attends will recognize it and split themselves laughing. 

The news. Wow! I’m astounded. Wow. 

Today three lions arrived in France from Ukraine. Atlas, a male, and lionesses Luladja and Queen are at the Auxois park in Burgundy. They are all about two years old. It took 90 hours to get them there. It is legal in Ukraine for private individuals to have lions as pets. Each of these was a privately kept cat. 


Hungary will drop its objections to the creation of a €5 billion ($5.4 billion) Ukraine military assistance fund. They opposed it on Monday. This is coinciding with pressure to approve Sweden for NATO. Hungary is blocking a €50 billion ($54.5 billion) support package for Ukraine and if their Prime Minister Orban continues the EU will probably pass it anyway and eventually Hungary may lose its right to vote. 
Denmark will contribute nearly 60 million Danish kroner (over $8.5 million) to the European Union's anti-corruption program in Ukraine.
