A few things I saw on my trip to the local shops just now, 4pm on a sunny Thursday afternoon:
- The white lady behind me in the Asian supermarket bought a four pack of Scrumpy Jack cider, a bottle of wine, a small bottle of vodka and some mouthwash. I worried about her liver.
- The kids from a family from school all dressed up in their best Asian clothes were trooping off to mosque. ‘Hello miss’ they called to me. I count as a teacher because I read with a couple of them in school.
- A black lady in her dressing gown and what looked like her daughter, sitting on plastic chairs right by the pavement in their tiny front garden, enjoying a glass of orange juice.
- My kids and a whole multi-cultural group of local friends all mucking about on the church’s playground, squealing happily. Beautiful.
How are you enjoying the sunshine?

In the garden planting seeds for the vegetable patch!
Lovely!
This morning discovered the Curate had a (funeral related) visitor to the house for only the 2nd time in 11 months and with 30 minutes notice a panicked cleanse of the downstairs toilet ensued.
The afternoon, in Sutton Coldfield Wilkos buying all the stuff that is required when one’s nearly 4yr old desperately wants a goldfish or two…
My biggest mistake was going into Wilkos WITH said nearly 4 yr old! However I am relieved to be only £12 lighter as a result (all fish related).

Trundling round Somerset visiting picturesque churches with lovely people in them working out ways to ensure that they remain open and active. There are one or two that need a few mustard seeds to arrive to prompt a bit of mountain moving but that will be tomorrow’s task.
….standing on a bridge on the M18 spotting Eddie Stobart lorries while waiting for eldest to come out of music lesson and youngest (and Vicar) sat in car too ashamed of me!
Sunburn.
15 degrees in Belfast, and this Aussie has fried.
(I think that’s the sign of assimilation…)
