Maundy Thursday

minipond.jpgMaundy money was today being distributed in Belfast. A sign, we hope, of lasting peace and improved security in that city. Here it was , this afternoon at least, wet and windy. I walked through the park this morning; a lovely and well-kept park though frequently attacked by graffiti ‘artists’; not Banksy, not yet. Then it was sunny but the weather deteriorated sharply this afternoon. See illustration for a picture of the park. Click on the thumbnail.

    Since a client has produced an unexpected pile of data which has to be written up, this Easter is a working weekend for me. On the basis that Maunday Thursday was likely to be the last day of nice weather I took a short Easter break in the morning and went to the Wetlands Centre in Barnes to see the Black Necked Swans and their cygnet. This adorable little bundle of fluff is about a week old and spends most of its time snuggled up on its father’s back. From time to time it wakes up, slides into the water to feed and practise swimming, then wriggles back up into its personalised swansdown duvet. I had a wonderful, though cold walk in the sunshine and watched Little Grebes fishing, then cycled back along the tow path reaching home just as the rain began. Now that the foul weather has started in earnest it’s not so bad being chained to the computer for the rest of the weekend.
