A dark day…

… for the world. This morning a friend reminded me that on a day like this when a man who is a convicted felon, racist and sexual predator (etc etc) is elected President, that we need to calm ourselves somehow. The impact of four more years of his wrecking ball politics doesn’t bear thinking about for too long. Genuinely frightening times.

So the garden came to the rescue, as it always does. This Fatsia japonica in my son’s garden is flowering now the days are cooler and shorter, it’s full of bees and very pretty.

The extra shows Albi being tormented by a new neighbour’s cat. It sits on the fence with the haughtiest expression. watching him go nuts with rage.
