Hold the Front Page

Sometimes there's a particular subject on my mind for the next post on the blog, sometimes I take a "Target of Opportunity" with a photograph or something that's happened during the day.

So. today at various times there have been four different subjects I was going to write on the blog - a comment on the "Loi Macron" that has just been passed, an updated picture of the trellis on the barn wall, a set of pictures taken by Barbara during and after the heavy showers today ............

In the end today it's two pictures snatched in between the clouds just after the sun had gone down:

A thin veil of clouds cover the moon shortly after sunset, Venus is visible just above the trees.

And, finally. the new crescent moon is just visible in a gap in the clouds and Venus (bright object) with Mars (faint object at one o'clock close to Venus).


And, of course, there are still a couple of bigger posts on the editing table - the NHS, heating the barn and - not dared to publish this one yet on the French Economy - "Is France the New Spain"
