Blog Sandwich Update 9 (Unexpected one!) ...

Alba Avram Eylül 03, 2022

The move … is not all smooth – but what’s to be expected?! Looks like I need a whole load of extras I hadn’t catered for … British Telecom phone line – obviously the old one got cancelled and withdrawn … there’s no tv aerial … so I need a satellite box …

My view isn't quite like this ... but
I am able to see the chalk cliffs, with
the ebb and flow of the English Channel

… mole-brown pile carpet in a south-west facing flat – not the best colour choice – still it’s new … and this of course brings load of excess pile and fluff out?! Also not easy to move ‘things’ around on piled carpet, and darkens the rooms … the joys of not being in control of one’s own destiny …

Oh and it bucketed yesterday … which then brought a leak to light on the balcony above … straight into the sitting room over the window etc – still that’s not my worry … but just adds to the interesting journey I’m on.

Draco Constellation
see Wiki for more info

So with BT (phone) delays – I won’t have connectivity for the computer until the middle of July … about time I learnt to use the iPad properly – I guess?!

Now to more pleasant things … Draco: the constellation that never sets … love this image …

Strawberry Moon over Stonehenge

Strawberries – the season has started … Asparagus is almost over now … and summer is upon us – we were meant to have the most glorious of strawberry moons – but down here yesterday … we could hardly see in front of our noses … thick rain or thrashing sea mist …

Strawberry Mousse cheese cake

I used to make a raspberry cheesecake - similar to this ... and oh it was always so delicious! Strawberries for now - fresh English ones ...

European Referendum – happens on Thursday 23^rd … this is a very serious decision for the British public (and those eligible to vote) …

I N o r O U T

By the time I move on Friday – life could be very different … we await our vote … and then by the time I’m back blogging in the middle of July, we shall have seen the fall-out … fall-out there will be … which way I’ve no idea.

Jo Cox - RIP

You will have, I hope [terribly sadly], heard about the murder of one of our Members of Parliament – Jo Cox – she was an exceptional person … Parliament was recalled to pay tribute to her … unusual to say the least, and has never been done before for a 'normal person' ...

I've put a link in – it makes interesting reading … re our Parliament, and especially about Jo herself – she would have been 42 tomorrow …

The Daily Telegraph article on the amazing tributes that have been, and will be continued to be paid to this extraordinary soul - who crossed boundaries and supported so many. I will write about it later in the year ...
