R's rue

Bit of a crappy day at work  Came home and no post in the box by the front door ( I was expecting some old essays to be posted back to me)  Disappointed they were not there. I sat with my hoodie on as tge cottage warmed up, with the dogs on my knee A neighbour brought around a parcel at 9 pm  It had been left by the postman  Four beautifully home made ceramic soup spoons, which I had ordered an age ago now I was too tired to make soup to try them out  So ate some tinned low fat custard Using each spoon in turn to try each one out  Eaten from the tin  from Going Gently https://ift.tt/30zPFDL

Anakena October 27th 2009 7.15am Dawn is breaking and I can hear cockerels greeting the day. Some are close by, others are faraway snd beyond those there are no doubt others. There's no clear "cockadoodle-doo" - nothing musical like that, these rooster calls are pained and varied as if appealing to some unmerciful god. Nearer are more melodic songs from small birds. How did they arrive -here - 2500 miles from anywhere else? There was so much  gorgeous birdsong down in Rano Kau crater  yesterday. I think that place would be a botanist's dream - a micro-climate in which plants have developed with minimal human interference. Again - how did they get there? Those mighty thick reeds that proliferate in the centre of the crater lake or those ferns with their studded leaves. Was it microsorum parksii? Often used medicinally and in fact seen in other parts of Polynesia though here on Rapa Nui it only grows in Rano Kau crater. 9.30pm I'm now in the Bar Tavake pub...
