Omen?

No doubt Nicola would have taken this cross in the sky as an omen for achieving her life’s ambition. I, on the other hand, on my early morning ramble in sunshine, with overnight frost sparkling on the grass, knew it as two random jet trails crossing paths.

What do you do with a husband that decides a specific bush I planted near the patio 8 years ago looks dead and without consultation pulls it out despite there being obvious buds waiting to come out? Such high handed behaviour will have repercussions and it will be more than just sending him to Specsavers.

My mood will improve with a visit at lunch time from Daughter #2 who has astutely taken 2 weeks of her annual leave from matters surgical to be at home while my Grandson sits his Scottish ‘Highers’.
I think it’s a case of keeping him grounded and studying in case he should think, heaven forbid, exam leave was a chance to relax.
