I drew the curtains on Sunday morning to find a lovely sunrise in progress over a stormy sea. It shines, and sparkles and glistens. Jehovah has made sure we wake up to a masterpiece every morning. Col took a photo and hopefully it will head this blog.
Had a long telephone conversation with Bea of the North on Saturday, and also a long chat with Linda (cousin Linda) on facebook. And I had a productive morning - started by Col's alarm clock going off at 4:00 a.m. - during which I changed the bedding, did a load of washing, spent some time in the field service (Zoom style) with my siblings. But I did nothing during the afternoon. The Captain's supper was already made - being the rest of the lamb hotpot, so it was just a question of heating it up when he got back.
He came back laden with flowers - lilies and carnations - as they had stopped off at Tesco's. They certainly are a cut above the Garage Apology Bunch. Not that this is an apology anyway - the 4:00 a.m. alarm calls are a vital part of a Detectorist's life - and to be accepted as such. Which, given I do not have to commute to work anymore, seems fair enough.
Every flower is a miracle - lovelier than the most expensive Tiffany jewel, and more finely engineered than our latest (and also eye-wateringly expensive) fighter jet. And talking of fighter jets... will Russia invade the Ukraine, as the news is busy telling us it might... or is this the King of the North pushing at the King of the South, sensing weakness and testing? I hope for the sake of the Ukrainian people, for the sake of the young soldiers on both sides, that this invasion will not go ahead.
My siblings and I had our usual Zoom chat this morning - and Col was able to show them the piece of Ring Brooch he has found. It will appear on his blog on time, but is also treasure chest so we may not get to keep it.
