Sunday 4th 52F, very heavy overcast and breezy but some sunshine is threatened. I had better give it a while before my walk or I'll need a torch! There was a weird sky as I eventually headed off down the road. Large areas of dark smudginess, strips of mammatus cloud and roll cloud.
I had no real plans. So I wandered past the marsh pond and then back by a quiet, tree-lined lane. Where late repairs are being made to the tired avenue of Hornbeam. With new trees planted in the growing gaps. Though with little sign of ongoing maintenance. Many of the ridiculously tall, supporting poles are now weighing down the trees themselves. Having lifted from the ground. To dangle at odd, untidy angles.
Not much to report in the way of wildlife today. The usual hordes of juvenile Mallard ducks [raised as cannon fodder] heading for the far shore on news of my arrival alongside. A couple of pheasants out on a field "did a runner." No sign of any swallows now. Presumably all of them have headed south. There were plenty of small birds moving between field soil and the nearest cover.
An hour and half walk was rewarded with sunshine just after I returned home. The wind had been quiet but is picking up now. With the sunlit trees rocking wildly to a fresh south-easterly. There were sunny periods but nothing like the promised sunshine from the national weather service. It was ever thus. They'd have better luck asking the punters at a betting shop. If there were any.

Chump and his Chumps [followers] are wallowing chest deep in Darwin Awards. Not only was Chump not isolated for his own protection. As a fat, unfit, old fart, in a high risk age group, all on a piss-poor diet. Nor was anybody else protected from him! His personal body count is really piling up now.
I also hear that Infantile Twatter has banned messages wishing Chump would snuff it. Ironic, don't you think, considering he has a very long record of wishing harm to so many others?
The White House propaganda machine continues to cause confusion. By giving false or inaccurate information on The Great Leader's condition. So Chump's entire medical team held a mass press conference to announce a very different story. Leaving one wondering who was protecting all the front line nurses from the self-proclaimed Great Groper?
And who, exactly, was doctoring the rest of the hospital's patients while they were all standing outside in "nuclear bomber formation?" It seems the Great Tax Evader has had a whiff of oxygen. Just before polishing off an "Oversize Me" delivery from the local McLardy's. I'd hate to be his food taster!
