Gin & Hats

I got home after my 12.5 hour day shift late.

I collected the dogs , fed them and Albert and just had time to sit down at 9 pm before our zoom meeting was booked.

It was Ben’s last night in the UK so Ruth had sorted out an online meet, all together 

We both poured ourselves a large gin and we wore our matching Beanie hats in solidarity 

And Ben gave his apologies as he was super stressed and tired and …..so ….didn’t turn up

We were gutted

But the meeting continued …..with the both of us laughing hysterically over the fact we were spinsters of the parish, we had just been stood up and we were wearing matching hats.

I haven’t laughed like that for months

Candy

 I ask myself lately this question. What is that?  Does God my full attention. Not to complain. Not to right others’ wrongs. Am I giving Him all of me so I can do His perfect and pleasing will. With the anchor of God, each day is a reset. Daily I need to step into His word and live it out. When I veer, pain is on its way. I desire the candy of life, but it leaves me hungry for the food that nourishes. I need the broccoli and beef not Swedish fish or Sour Patch Kids. As much as I like the latter, it leaves me yearning not long after being consumed. Satisfaction comes from hard work. It comes from doing the necessary. It comes from the silent determined face that is quiet that speaks without uttering a word. 

In Your prescience

I look up

I don’t join

In worldly arguments

I just persevere 

Knowing

Vengeance is 

Not mine

My job

Is here

To complete

With these keys

You’ve put 

Before me

Dance as if no one is watching

For me Michael Gove lost what little political credibility he possessed when supporting Dominic Cummings’ ludicrous test driving story.

Now he’s been filmed dancing away in a Scottish nightclub 

And we can see the human side  of him just a little. 

Ed Balls was interviewed on radio 4 on Saturday and talked about  how people perceived him when he was a politician compared with their reactions of him as a reality tv “ personality 

They like me now, he quipped 

I blame the bland “ politician speak” 

The likes of Dennis Skinner never suffered from it
