‘Vacation Planning’…… From The Ness of Brodgar Blog…..

Vacation Planning
Let's go to the beach this summer,
splurge on soft serve and funnel cake,
before the ocean reaches up
and drags the boardwalk down.
Let's play one more game
of Skeeball, as the Red Hats
cheer the masculine waves
and claim this was all part
of His Great Plan.
It won't be tariffs or tax cuts
leading us to our impending doom.
No, it's the reality of what we've not done—
the consequences of years' inaction.
Let's go to the beach this summer
because soon it will be too hot
to leave our rooms in June
and the empty heads on television
will tell us it's really better this way.

“Phew – a strong one.
On this subject - on Monday we went to Sandside Bay for a walk, and stood and looked at how, but for a retaining, restraining wall, the graveyard would be in the sea.”

Diamond shapes - not just carved into stone, impressed into clay too. A significant symbol?
