Martins over the Taff

Another sunny blue sky day with the temperature rising to 17C mid afternoon. Housework after breakfast, then cooking a pasta dish with veg and lentils for lunch.

A text message about a top up covid jab arrive for Clare and I, at yet another new venue, the Bay Scouting centre in Grangetown, near where Bama lives. Ashley called after we'd eaten. He has a jab the same day, time snd place as us, but has decided to request a change of venue to sn easier to reach place.

 I walked over to Pontcanna Fields to take a few photos of the Urdd rugby tournament. Outside the spectator area was a notice stating that matches were being live streamed on the Urdd website. 

I walked down to the national sports centre and back up the path beside the river. Much to my surprise and delight I saw a family of four house martins above the river, crossing to and fro in search of insects. It's my first proper sighting of them this year, but they may have arrived a couple of weeks ago as I saw a single bird at a distance but it was too far away to be certain.

After supper, I wrote a reflection for next Wednesday's Morning Prayer, then watched the first episode of a Belgian hostage drama before turning in for the night.
