It's saying updated 12:23... was in a big hurry this morning but I thought I read that the environmental permit would now be applied for in the middle or at the end of 2025. Did I get that wrong or have they changed it, I think they've changed it.
Morning All. There's absolutely nothing in that article we don't already know...and the environmental permit is an on going process is isn't another delay. Very misleading article, but that's what we've always had to contend with.
Eric...We're having crab salad for dinner tonight...my youngest is home from Norway and I haven't seen him since I went to Stavanger 15 months ago and then I hadn't seen him since before Covid. What a strange time that was. My mother's brain was crammed with rolls of poetry and prose and songs, she was a Catholic and I'm a bit surprised about some of the stuff she was taught, John Buchan for instance was as Protestant as you can get, maybe religion was less divided than it is now; she wouldn't have hesitated for a moment to go into an Anglican service and she always listened to the Chief Rabbi on the radio. Pretty sad the state of the world at this moment. 😢
Morny middy, Eric. Are you familiar with Bedruthan Steps, used to fly down them when I was young but they've got a bit steeper. My mother taught me the John Buckan passage, which is from Prester John. James Elroy Flecker I've only recently come upon, one couldn't live long enough of course to run out of English Literature.
We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go Always a little further: it may be Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow, Across that angry or that glimmering sea.
White on a throne or guarded in a cave There lives a prophet who can understand why men were born: but surely we are brave, Who make the Golden Journey to Samarkand.
Sweet to ride forth at evening from the wells, When shadows pass gigantic on the sand, And softly through the silence beat the bells, Along the Golden Road to Samarkand. We travel not for traffiking alone, By hotter winds our fiery hearts are fanned: For lust of knowing what should not be known, We make the Golden Journey to Samarkand.
Nighty Night All ✨
