Easter...This Week in Ukraine...and The Batman

 

Yeah...it was kind of like this...

And this.

With a whole lot of this by the evening.

Talked to most of my kids...John...some of my grands...a lot of my friends...and both my sisters. 

Fixed an asparagus and ham quiche...fresh asparagus...fresh strawberries and strawberry cream muffins...oh and a chocolate bunny, of course!!

Nice relaxing Easter.

(...with early birthday morels on the way...can't wait!!!)

John won the "Find the First Dandelion of Spring" contest.


 

Dinner was wonderful.

Less palatable was DC's newest offering
 

Which, in my opinion, was pretty much unwatchable.

I tried.

I really did.

Twice.

Do yourself a favor...if you only see one movie this year...don't make it this one.

You've been warned.

Long..boring...badly acted...dark and brooding.

If you have been following the Invasion in Ukraine you will enjoy this series of photos.





Yes.

We sunk their battleship!

Huge, as it was the Russians flagship!

At first Putin carelessly tossed it off as

"...tis but a scratch..."

"Ye daft bastid...the ship is gone."
 

By the next day he admitted there was a fire aboard.

(...Neptune missiles launched into artillery will do that...)

The evening before the Kyiv Independent had already told the rest of us the ship had sank.

The Kremlin cooked up a story about how it was being towed back to port...then a heavy storm had come up suddenly...

(...yeah...right...)

And finally admitted the ship was gone.

Turkey rescued 54 sailors as she sank.

The captain died during the initial missile attack and/or subsequent fires.

And the rest of the crew...assumed sitting at the bottom of the Black Sea.

Zelenskyy and Kyiv still standing...53 days now.

Now to get this mess cleaned up...nibble leftovers...and get the day underway...
