I had been without hot water since Friday. It could have been a a late Lenten penance if deliberate. I’m too old for cold baths though, and I found it all a bit of a nightmare. Heat has been restored today, but it makes you realise how much we in the affluent world take for granted

I was bought up Catholic, but left the Church in my twenties. However I did have respect for Pope Francis. He spoke with wisdom and humanity at a time in which humanity is in profound crisis. In the midst of madness, he spoke of love. He wasn’t perfect, problems remained, but I was comforted by him

“Never have we so hurt and mistreated our common home as we have in the last two hundred years. Reducing greenhouse gases requires honesty, courage and responsibility. Those who will have to suffer the consequences will not forget this failure of conscience and responsibility.” — Pope Francis

RIP Pope Francis. Obviously, a lot of problems with the Church still remain, but he did feel like one of the few global leaders left still trying to contribute some good to the world rather than ransack it.

Happy Easter! The picture shows a pysanka, a Ukrainian Easter egg, a present from cherished #Ukrainian colleagues. The traditional egg-decorating method employs layers of wax and dye to produce a distinctive pattern. Slava Ukraini!
