Why do parishioners believe that it’s ok / welcome to comment on what you’re wearing/ look like in terms of ‘that’s much more flattering than…’? Your comments are not welcome.

I have spent most of the afternoon reading about antisemitism, blood libel,racism, Black British Lives Matter about to head to the Balfour Declaration, the Nakba and really the world is not a great place.

Well it’s just taken me 7 hours to choose music for 8 weeks and then I followed it with a note saying ‘given the world situation, I reserve the right to change all of this’.

This is the longer version of the thing I was trying to say, which still is by no means everything I have to say in any direction. Do not try to infer or assume based on what I haven't said.You can ask me questions if you'd like to know. I will answer if I have the energy and am in the mood.

Such a fabulous ‘two days off in a row’ with my Mum in Scotland. I may have cried a bit it was so utterly, utterly lovely. Horrible leaving though and it gets worse every time.

Apparently it’s both clergy appreciation day and international lesbian day - so a special shout-out to those in the middle of the Venn diagram!
