Today was the thirteenth and it was unlucky if you wanted to go for a walk, or take a few photos outside. That simply was out of the question today.
It was raining when we woke. The rain continued all day. It’s just after 11pm and it’s still raining. We went nowhere, we did very little indeed. Today’s PoD was a photo of a wee bunch of flowers in a vase. The flowers were pretty and they did look good, but honestly, they were the only things worth photographing today.
Lunch was our usual fried Sunday lunch. Nothing very special, just food. We watched various diplomats and know-alls giving their take on the escalation of troops and armaments surrounding Ukraine and wondered what the world is coming to. We’ve just fought and hopefully won a war against a virus that has almost brought the entire world to its knees but some people still want to kill other people because they live in a place where they want to live. Have we learned nothing in the past two years? Have we learned nothing in the last 2,000 years?
Spoke to Jamie in the evening and for once we did almost all the talking. Mainly getting up to date on the preparations for Thursday’s op. However we did find out that Simonne and her sister are organised for a visit to Trinidad in March. I’m sure that will be a relief for all concerned.
Enough of politics. Tonight we watched a puzzling film called Breakfast At Tiffany’s. I drew as slightly sarcastic (who me?) sketch based on what I thought it was about a couple of days ago. I don’t think I would have drawn anything different after watching it. I don’t know what Truman Capote was drinking when he wrote the book of the same name, but I’d like to try some!
Tomorrow we’re both hoping for a few hours of dry weather. As far as I can see, we may get that, not much more than a couple of hours, but we’ll take what we’re given. Hoping to get out for a walk and also to have some time to complete today’s sketch and tomorrow’s as well.
