Very Weird

Thanks so much for all your kind comments yesterday.

We, and a lot of the rest of Europe, are being inundated with Saharan dust - this photo was at about 11am on a sunny day, and the extra shows our (still vacant) stork's nest platform in the afternoon. And supposed to be even worse tomorrow, beginning to clear on Thursday. Must say, it's felt quite hard to breathe easily.

We had some shocking news, but then immediately had to get on with preparing a meal for an American/Belgian couple, who live in Ireland, but are buying a place in a village near us, and wanted to pick our brains. We think they might do well, and would be lovely to have as friends.

Lent verses were Matthew 23v1-12:
Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant.
Who is being more of a servant to his people - Mr P or Mr Z?
Point made.

Gratefuls:
- a good time with Dan and Mireille
- chatting things over with family 
- Mike's bread toasted, with avocado and black garlic
