Passing clouds

This is the view from our at home office window, the clouds today were rather strange, I guess high winds high up carried them to make these lines. 

Busy work day and we 'fixed' the gate in the playpark. 

We heard this evening that Richards brother has passed away. Richard went to see him at the weekend and the doctor had been clear that the odds were not in his favour.  A shock but not a surprise.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.
