2 minutes for peace
and 30 minutes of open air to satisfy the Suzuki 30:30 challenge for May. I could well have chosen an even more sombre corner of the sky at around 16.40.
08:05:15: special day for my parents. temperatures bris over morning from 1C to a bright and sunny 9C to a murky slide back to around 6C assisted by what appears to be one of the stratus cloudforms. A look at the satellite images suggests it's not so great and will pass but it may give some rain. Noto only rain but this cloud form identifies a warm or occluded front and is likely to be followed by a rise and temperature. 3 hours later and yes we have rain.
As leaders fall away and grandees loose seats as never before I ask is that the way it should be. We must still suffer far too many vocational politicians... like the living dead, vocational politician presents as an oxymoron? Two terms maximum service and move on!
Altogether a busy day. A quick search on Wikipedia for the most fitting few lines from a classic of our Island's literature chest to sum up the many months (of democratic posturing) and I find it...
"To a Mouse, on Turning Her Up in Her Nest with the Plough."
...The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy! etc
(Scots: "Tae a Moose") is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1785. According to legend, Burns was ploughing in the fields and accidentally destroyed a mouse's nest that it needed to survive the winter. In fact, Burns' brother had claimed that the poet composed the poem while still holding his plough.[3]
