24 C in my back garden, so it was a nice refreshing Brandy Sour and a few hours sunbathing. I'm pleased with the white bush in the centre because a year ago the frost got at it, and it looked very poorly with very few flowers. I'm growing sweet peas up the side of the shed if the bloody snails and slugs don't get at them.
Lovely
Yesterday after I jet washed the front drive I had to fill in all the gaps left in the block paving with kiln dried sand. My son kindly offered to do it, but I said no, as it would do me good. Getting old is a right bugger, I'm still aching.
I'd love to visit. Maybe someday if I'm lucky.
@Dave Sutton - What did you think of the other day saying to Russia, "You caused this." in reference to aligning with the UK and possibly joining NATO? I know he's a Liberal Conservative (Yeah, I know. An oxymoron.), but I was impressed with what he said.
I was impressed as well, he made a lot of sense. It's also good to see Britain and the US supporting Ukraine.
@Dave Sutton - I suppose. Assuming the sanctions are working though, I wish they had caused Putin to back off before now. I guess sending money and weapons might be good for Ukraine. Nevertheless, I am anti-war and would rather have seen it end due to lack of financing.
@David Lazarus Some leaders don't understand that you will get so much more if you allow people to be free and rule themselves. There was nothing great about the Soviet Union.
What is Putin to gain by this war? Nothing.
If we had simply relied on sanctions, which the Russians had prepared for, Ukraine would have been occupied by the Russians by now. I suppose I will not be seeing all the huge Russian yachts moored up in Cyprus now. The Russians have been investing heavily there.
@Dave Sutton Fire on those yachts but save one of them for me. Ahoy Dave!
@Dave Sutton - That kind of makes me wonder if the US could survive sanctions. I doubt we'll ever find out.
@David Lazarus I doubt that any country could cause us problems by imposing sanctions.
BTW, I just posted this video about the use of cluster bombs on Friendica:
