One person I talk to every day in Gaza is @obadasalqawy2025.bsky.social, who is doing his best to care for his family after his life and business as a lawyer were destroyed. If you can help Palestinians in the run up to Ramadan (March) you’ll be bringing a lot of hope and joy. gofund.me/56fa5505

Brisk early morning walk today in the wondrous winter brightness, on my way to #oldstpancras church for #Candlemas. Ushanka, black Crombie, gloves, Loake brogues; mentally rehearsing today’s reading (Malachi): “For he is like a refiner’s fire…”
