Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates it. Passover is on and Eid was a couple of weeks ago. So the three monotheistic faiths all celebrate close to each other. Sometimes known as "people of the Book" similarities must outweigh the centuries old animosity that is trumpeted in our news reels. Let us celebrate faith, creed and culture.
In my small world I've been somewhat up and down mentally. I struggled with isolation, desolation and loneliness Friday and Saturday. Better today but the shadow of the devil still invades and envelops my mind a lot.
Yet my kitchen remains my haven. There is half a leg of lamb seasoned with garlic and rosemary in the oven. The potatoes are parboiled. I'm making a starter of crab and apple salad with cucumber, mayonnaise, mint and lemon. Miriam and Nigel are my guests for lunch.
I'm off now until Wednesday. The last week was slow but next week I will review the interim report on "overdiagnosis" of mental health, ADHD and autism ordered by Wes Streeting in December. Quite why he did that I'm not sure given last year's ADHD taskforce report. The chatter online is that they're chasing a mythical unicorn to save money and get people working. To do the latter we need root and branch reform of health, education, housing, DWP and culture. We're a long way off that.
For now though as hailstones fall outside I will concentrate on lunch. Perhaps it's time to crack open the fizz.
I Heard a Voice.
