How lucky we are

One of those days when a photograph of the anemones will fit the bill. Well, it was a fine day and after the sloth of yesterday it was good to get up the slope and continue the never ending activity that is gardening. And listening to a podcast too - and if I was to tell you it was about Martin Luther and the Reformation you might imagine that it was rather dry (though drying out after Friday is no bad thing) - but not a bit of it. Tremendously entertaining. It’s really terrific to be in the company of guys like Tom Holland as that is exactly what it’s like. I’m his friend. I wonder if he'd like to come back for a whisky?
Much later, Ukraine:Enemy in the Woods. Gawd, that’s a tough watch. How much more can those guys endure? Sadly I fear Putin’s not calling for peace talks any time soon, unless they’re on his terms, and that won’t be great.
