Another four thirty start to the day. For the people of Kiev the long expected has begun.
We leave the house to find that winter has gone. Spring seems to have been forgotten. This morning it's straight into early summer. Blue skies and double figure temperatures as Sophie and Angus head off on their tour of the village. Something about lengthening days and warmer weather that puts a spring in your step.
We're not the only ones up and about early. The old mayor is taking down a Christmas wreath from the front of the town hall. Meanwhile no less than six municipal workmen are having a conversation with the new mayor about trimming the shrubs on the village green. Four of them cluster in his small office. Two have to stand outside.

Listening to the news this morning with a feeling of dread, unexpectedly strong and not helped by the fact that winter weather has returned to Aberdeen.
Porridge with honey - Inca is of the opinion that it must be the finest breakfast on the Planet! Her human is not a milk drinker or porridge eater, so she's never sampled such deliciousness! Sadly breakfast is just the usual kibble with her three Cosequin tablets.
Blue sky and sunshine here, too - not suitable weather to absorb the news from the East.

Like Gail, I sit looking out at snow (right down to the shore) and the mood is not good for the news... even Sophie's good fortune of a morning doesn't quite lift things. YAM xx
A charmed life for all
SIX municipal employees for a village of 62? That is something! My old village had three, for a population of 900.
I don't think a takeover of Ukraine will end the power grab. This is just the beginning. It felt like life was just returning to normal after the pandemic, and now this.
