Time is pressing?

It was a perfect English summer’s day today. 25 degrees of sunshine. The dulcet sibilance from the 2nd Cricket Test Match commentary competes with the songbirds. The former sees England march on to an unexpected victory against the top test team in the world, New Zealand. The latter are busy rebuilding nests in anticipation of a second brood. Who needs Springwatch on telly with all this activity around us in real time?

The flower press is out so that our local grandchildren can have a wee shot with some of our daisies before the mower arrives. Not sure it will hold the same allure as their on screen activities but we can but try.

My leg is making a rapid recovery after its recent trauma. I have been helping it by elevating it as I work.There is a crucial work
conference call on Thursday afternoon that requires careful preparation!

In 2014 I voted in the Scottish Independence referendum and accepted its democratic result as being “once in a generation”. I voted in the European Referendum in 2016 and respected that democratic outcome too. Today I am curious to note that a white paper from Holyrood proposes the former is going to be re-run next year and the treaty with the EU drawn up by the current U.K. Government is being unilaterally amended.
