WITH A SONG IN MY HEART

Wild Flowers?

I bought a packet of wildflower seeds in the spring, and this is what came up. They don’t look like wild flowers to me but they are gorgeous!
Anyone know what they are?
This morning the home check lady - Helen - came to see how Tonya and Yurii are settling in and they were able to ask her some questions such as about driving in the UK. She’s a really nice, helpful lady.
We haven’t done much today as it’s been too hot! I was only out to hang the washing.
Last night we asked them if they’d like to watch anything on TV and bearing in mind they couldn’t understand anything I suggested music on Youtube - Tonya wanted to watch George Harrison so we found the Tribute to George Concert. She’s seen it before but loves it, then she found their favourite famous Ukrainian Band and they were really good too. 
We both did some cleaning, Tonya mopped the kitchen floor and was enthralled by my Vileda spray mop! 
Tonight they are making our tea and it smells delicious - something with aubergines. ;-b
I am going to the refugee group meeting tonight and I’m hoping to get funds to take them to some special places and maybe a family and friends railcard for each of them. We have quite a bit in the kitty from fundraising and also North Yorkshire County Council gave the group £1500.
Tomorrow we have to go to Shipley and hopefully get their Biometric Residence Permits. No idea why it is the PO in Asda in Shipley - we thought it would be Leeds.

An Ode To Admin at the Council

Office workers where would we be
without those men and women
who oil the cogs of bureaucracy 
that enable things to happen
and run smoothly in our lives
registering all those marriages
and babies when they arrive
and our loved ones when they die.
The world of administration
is a mystery to the likes of me
documents for the whole nation
at the click of a keypad to see.
I’d like to give them some praise
for I doubt they often get some
they’ve all gone out of their way
to help get the formalities done.

See you tomorrow Blippers ;-)X
