Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to a new week, its Monday again. At least the sunny weather has calmed down a bit, plus we got a lot of rain last night, just as we were leaving the restaurant. We got wet!
Today we are taking it easy, but later, we are visiting MrsD's auntie Francis, who sadly, has dementia now. She's still at home though, not in care yet.
Have a great day, have fun, laughs, gin, etc. Take care.
Today's photo is Bramble (Blackberry) flowers, looking pale pink this year.

@MAJ1 Timing? Aye, it never fails to rain just when you leave the restaurant, or are farthest away from shelter while walking the dog, and such like.
Sunny now!
The New York Times Lies Bigly About Iran

"The New York Times gave us an analysis piece on Iran by Roger Cohen, a longtime reporter who covered Iran for the paper more than a decade ago. The gist of the piece, which is headlined “An Islamic Republic with Its Back Against the Wall,” is that the Iranian government is hugely unpopular and that More

I love horses. I ride horses. Usually on the prairie, where I can just give them their head and let them run their fool head off if they want, or just stand there and eat cactus pears and toot. Whatever. :) You don't see things like dressage schools or racehorse farms around ranches.
So I was appalled when I saw dressage practices and training modalities, and was equally appalled when I toured a racing facility.
Neither sport should be allowed. They are cruel, horrible sports.

🎷Samedi, la fête de la musique battait son plein !
Pour l'occasion, voici l'une des 26 000 cartes postales conservées aux archives et disponible en ligne sur le site. On y voit un homme jouant du serpent, cet instrument de musique dont le long boyau sinueux rappelle le corps du reptile. Souvent fabriqué en bois et recouvert de bandes de cuir, cet instrument à vent fait pourtant partie de la famille des cuivres. En effet, comme les joueurs de cuivre, les musiciens font vibrer leurs lèvres dans l'embouchure.

Trump hails 'bullseye' strikes on Iranian nuclear sites as UN says damage is unclear
Iran threatens 'decisive response' after Trump says US 'obliterated' nuclear sites - live updates
Iran's military say the US has previously "received a decisive response" for its "crimes", and "this time it will be the same".BBC News
V BBC's Frank Gardner:
if Iran has managed to preserve enough of its highly enriched uranium then it could be able to test a first-generation device using a neutron initiator.
It has long been assumed that if Iran acquires the bomb then Saudi will also try to acquire it, triggering a nuclear arms race.
L'immagine è una fotografia in bianco e nero che sembra risalire al 1900, con la scritta "PARIS NOUVEAU" in basso. Mostra una carrozza trainata da un cavallo, con un uomo seduto al suo interno, che indossa un cappello e un abito lungo. Accanto alla carrozza, un uomo a terra sembra aver avuto un incidente con una bicicletta. La scritta in alto dice "I CICLISTI" e in basso "STANNO SULLE PAE AI GUIDATORI GIA' DAL 1900" con un emoji sorridente. L'immagine è un meme che scherza sulla longevità del problema dei ciclisti che ostacolano i guidatori, un problema che sembra essere stato presente fin dal 1900.

Lascio qui questo link. In questo periodo si fa molta fatica a trovare un senso a ciò che succede nel mondo, un po' di fantascienza ottimista può aiutare.

En als de publieke opzeggingen van PvdA enige indicator zijn betekent dit een netto generationele verschuiving richting de jongere generatie.
