The run up to Easter.


Good morning from Sophie. 


It's still extremely windy although it's now gusting from the east rather than from the west. It is the sort of wind that has the strength to lift not just one, but both, PON ears.

We find a sheltered table, out of the wind, at the back of the cafe for our morning croissant and coffee. The world is a turbulent place and there is much that needs to be discussed this morning. The French customers, safe and warm inside, look out in quiet bemusement as dog and owner chat away.  It must be admitted that my canine companion seems more interested in curly croissant ends than affairs of state.


Back to the village to check that no errant C-A-T-S have taken over the place.


Then home to settle down in a sunny spot for a restorative start of day nap.


Looks as if drone deliveries will take a while longer to arrive :https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/11/23020549/amazon-struggling-drone-deliveries-prime-air-bezos

    Inca says if she had a bed as comfy as Sophie's, she wouldn't want to get up at the crack of dawn!
    Curly croissants ends are less distressing than the current state of the world.

    Sophie's bed is the perfect place to retreat from a turbulent world.

    Sophie has her priorities straight - we all could use that thinking!

    A nap in the shade, eh? It seems to have warmed up.

    Sophie has her priorities, focus on the good and the things you can control - and rest - lots of naps.

    Interesting links this morning. A sorry state of affairs regarding California's children and the literacy problem, but I am delighted to learn New Hampshire is currently first in the nation. We do have an entirely different approach to education compared to some of the other states, all of which appears to be working.

    As always, Miss Sophie and her wind blown appearance is absolutely adorable this morning.

    As your source for the school info is a publication of the Manhattan Institute, I would never trust it. The MI has a political agenda, plainly exhibited in the last few lines of the article. If the same analysis is provided by a truly neutral source or one that generally favors public education that would be a different story.
