Seriously, I'll have more on the the turmoil around the Black Sea later, but because my kids were in a play, Once Upon a Mattress (Natalie was the Nightingale of Samarkand, and Charlie was in the pit orchestra) over the last two days, I've not blogged.

It was a nice production of a rather indestructible play. 

Asacia, who played the female lead Winnifred, cracked some ribs on Thursday, but she could go on, and so could the show.
