Friday 5th April

There's not a lot to say about today, or maybe I have writer's block.

Even the White House is now warning that the US might go to war with North Korea.  All foreigners in the country, and those in embassies there are leaving.   Commentators are saying if they fire a missile which just drops into the ocean it will probably be ignored, but if it hits the US of course, or South Korea or Japan with whom the US have treaties, they will have to retaliate.  And they have promised S Korea and Japan they will take action if they are attacked.

I went round a floor of the hospital this morning.   This evening I had supper with Pattisue at the Lutheran church, who raise funds by putting on a meal one day a month.   We were both rather taken aback at the price though of $8, which is on a par with what restaurants charge.   Decided we will go to the China Buffet next time.

Kevin cut my grass today, the first cut of the season, and it was overdue.  I'm very grateful to him because I was afraid he might be too busy and then I would be in a bind, because the City fines us if it is not kept short.  In this dry state long grass is a fire hazard.

 Certainly greener than it was after the couple of days of heavy, drenching rain.

Looking at me adoringly, ha, ha, ha.
