It has been raining overnight again, and it is till drizzling now. Ugh!
Yesterday the weather was lovely I played my match against Barry in Billy's Cup. It was a good game, but Barry won, 21-15. Not a great surprise. Not a surprise that he won, it was a great surprise that I managed to score 15!!
It seems that there may be, at last, a settlement in the Iranian war. I will keep my fingers crossed that it does happen and that the world can then set about restoring itself. But that will be a long process, I feel sure. Wars are very costly in money and nd lives lost. Stupid.
PEACE ON EARTH
