A Host of Golden Daffodils



Here is a Wordsworthian moment caught in one of Col's photos from his dig on Sunday.  It's like a painting, catching the turn of the season beautifully.  

Judging by the tabloid coverage on Monday, the latest ceremony in which Showbiz tells itself how wonderful it is and awards itself prizes is of as much import as the war in Ukraine. Admittedly, both events do make me upset, angry and depressed.  

This - the events in Ukraine - is also throwing a strong light on the amount of wealth accumulated by the "oligarchs" - and at last some public questions about where that wealth came from:

 "A new documentary by the BBC has claimed that Roman Abramovich cheated the Russian Government out of £2billion and was investigated for fraud by his country's Department of Economic Crimes."

It seems especially important at the moment to keep Jehovah's teachings firmly in mind. 

"How fitting, then, that God should require us to be slow about wrath. Explaining why slowness about wrath is especially important for imperfect humans, the inspired writer James said: “For man’s wrath does not produce God’s righteousness.”  - James 1:20

God will destroy the present wicked system of things on the earth at Armageddon - in the right way and at the right time.  

On a more mundane level, we have the electrician coming tomorrow - and the electrics will probably be out all day.  No internet!   We will be frantically doing our Wordle and Quordle before he arrives.
