We're up at four to talk to Asian men in dark suits. Bob sleeps, head on paws, by the front door, Sophie lies across my feet. A busy week ahead. Mr.Kushner is in the mid-east arranging a Palestinian peace plan but not talking to the Palestinians. Mr.Trump has asked the Austrian Chancellor if he can meet Mr.Putin in Vienna next month before the NATO summit . The Poles have gone apoplectic. The German Foreign Minister let slip that he is prepared for a bad NATO meeting. To top it all a new book on the first family ' Born Trump ' will be released this week and is supposedly 'unflattering'. A Twitter storm awaits.
None of this is of the slightest interest to the PONs who are much more focused on the cat that is sitting preening itself on The Old Farmers balcony. Bob is not best pleased at this display of feline arrogance.
A walk to the waterfall, a trip to the bakers and then, as happens every morning, the ten minute blog writing routine. A chance for Bob and Sophie to catch a quick nap.
This mornings bakery choice was between an Opera ....
...... a Fraisier .....
.... and a couple of small Bavarois. We opt for the Fraisier despite the fact that it has a Fathers Day sticker from yesterday on it.
Bob and Sophie get some crust from a malformed apple flapjack which they demonstratively ( and vocally ) enjoy.
The mayor shows up at the gate to borrow the step ladders. He's putting out the flags on the war memorial for the commemoration of the Appeal of 1940.
This book tells us so much about what's going on : https://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/review-divided-why-we-re-living-in-an-age-of-walls-by-tim-marshall-1.716014

Bertie is with Bob on the matter of annoying feline arrogance.
Hari om
You lost me at the opera... YAM xx
Leave it to the Divider-in-Chief to arrange a meeting with Putin on his way to a NATO summit. Is it any wonder that the Germans are prepared for trouble. Trump will probably be all the more disdainful of Merkel now that she seems to be somewhat weakened. It will be interesting to see what role Macron will play amid all this discord.
Many thanks for those ten minutes you devote to blog writing each morning.
I agree with Sheila June, thank you for the time you spend writing each morning. It certainly makes my day better! The best day ever? I think that belongs to the PONs.
Inca too, is not amused by any display of feline arrogance, and we see plenty of that round here ! Surely Sophie will see them off?
I wonder if this dissent is allowed here, but POTUS 44 was the divider-in-chief, not 45. Is there room in your mind for nation states? A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, comes to mind. I'm with Bob re: arrogant cats. The bakery choices all look scrumptious as usual! :-)
we go Opera too but are ignorant to what type if a cake a Fraisier is. We hope it was delicious.
