5yo took part in his Squirrels group’s remembrance activities this weekend, including being given an impromptu small part in a demonstration staged by the priest during his sermon this morning to illustrate the teachings of Martin Niemöller, which was somewhat amusingly surreal.

In my case it’s that I am a bit funny about people using my full name – like yes I’m Dionysios and proud of it but unless you’re my uncle or my auntie or an Orthodox priest giving me Communion, you call me Dion.
I have unfollowed people on social media who have called me Andy. It’s not my name. I am not an Andy. You might as well call me Ronald. Call people by the name they want.

Ahmet and Ibbi who ran our local Wimpy are the sons of Cypriot migrants, who beyond that connection also made us and the kids feel so welcome every time we went there. Lovely guys who will be sorely missed by all their customers.

This is disastrous; hospices do such important work, not only to give people a good death, but to provide pain management and other services to people with terminal conditions. The staff in hospices work so, so hard and the fact that these institutions depend on charity to operate is a scandal.
