Back to nature on the Somerset Levels

We never tire of walking in these ancient places. Due to the lockdown we had not been for some months so on this lovely day, off we went. We set our GPS to the Sweet's Tearooms beloved of cyclists. Evidently, sitting inside is banned until late March but the staff did a good job offering a takeaway service. However the lines were too slow moving so off we went.

Reaching a decision on something

I am hoping to give a talk on Covid to a group of Christian men. This morning I was perplexed, feeling that if I came on 'full blast' I would alienate people so by strange coincidence I rang the organizer to discuss at about the same time as he was thinking about calling me for the same reason.

A day of shame

I went to the chemist for a prescription. As it happens they are positioned next to my doctor's surgery.  Whilst waiting I noticed a woman complaining that her daughter was in extreme pain and had scars and blotches down her legs. She showed the photo to anyone within earshot who showed signs of interest. I heard her say that the daughter had been vaccinated a few days before. She had previously...
