I have enjoyed a ravishing walk this morning!
The fledgling Sun, caressing the earth with its warming fingers, has coaxed a sweet mist from the rain-blessed grass. Dancing in the sunbeams, the very molecules of water vapour cry out the greatness of our divine Maker.
The young rabbits frolic in the unaccustomed light - nibbling the sweetness of the new grass as an unexpected delight. The swifts exult in their acrobatic endeavours, while the Bedfordshire rooks - solid, awesome, as old as these sandstone hills - contemplate for one last time our fragrant landscape, before lumbering into the sky to visit those chalk downlands to the south.
In the woods, the joyous dance of the dryads can be seen, while the laughter of the nymphs echoes up from the lively, carolling brook. Nature sings the praises of the One who made it.
Meanwhile, I have even greater blessings this morning. With the end of June coming up I've got to get those cash projections in line. I've shut the blinds in the Counting Shed - it's probably better that I can't see out. Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live - and he spends most of it ruled by numbers.

Curtains from Tea Bags
Various Beaker Folk, inspired by the idea of making curtains from tea bags, have decided that's their project for the new year.
Sadly there have been problems already. Mostly because, being the environmentally-concerned types that they are, various attempts have been made to use used tea-bags. Not very nice at all, and much heavier than the unused originals. There was a real problem when Burton Dasset's curtain leaked through the floor and into the room of Stacey Bushes, who lives below. Stacey, who's quite an imaginative young woman, thought at first it was blood and ran down the corridor screaming. Seeing she was quite hysterical, a fair queue formed of people who'd been looking for an excuse to slap her.
Meanwhile people have also been trying to make curtains from circular tea bags. Although they look quite pretty, they do let a lot of light in as well. While the pyramidal tea bags are really better for more 3-dimensional effects.
The coffee bags are pretty good as well, but they do have the unfortunate side-effect that you can't sleep at night.
