My heart just sank when this happened. By voting for Bishop North’s amendment they left themselves no option to vote for full safeguarding independence. I don’t know whether I’m more angry or sad. Mostly ashamed.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. As survivors grow fewer and antisemitism rises, today is more vital than ever.

Got back to UK late Sunday. Norovirus struck Monday evening. Today is the first day I'm feeling relatively ok. Still eating plain foods etc for now. All I've done since Monday is nothing. I'm still glad I went away though!! (I catch something every Christmas - weird).

A parable: At a Harvest service the three clergy of our team planted three Amaryllis bulbs during the service as a sign of hope…. One is about to bloom, another is catching up and will be a double, and the third is starting to shoot. All beautiful, all different, all fruitful, all in God’s time

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok? Signed, a librarian.
