Went to Sainsburys this morning and, judging by the number of cars in the car park, I thought the rapture had happened while I'd been in prison, and all the Sainsburys shoppers had been taken. I'd missed it by minutes.
The truth was slightly more mundane. The shop was closed for Easter Sunday.
I was back in prison this morning for the first time since September, when we believed Husband's operation would be happening any day, and I was concerned about some dubious hygiene in prison. It was great to be back, especially for Easter Sunday.
There were thirty-six men in the chapel, the most I can remember except for a Christmas carol service. A few may have turned up having heard there would be chocolate but most were genuine. And seven of the guys were baptised! (Or christened in the Anglican fashion.)
It was all amazing.
On a different note, I see Pope Francis didn't meet with JD Vance but a cardinal stood in for him. There is much discussion on Twitter about this. In one post asking if people were proud of the Pope for this, there were some wonderful - as in unbelievable - responses. Along these lines:
Well, Francis is a Commie. JDV is not. Francis is only pretending to be Catholic while JDV sincerely practices his Faith. They have no common ground.
What can you say to people like this?

Easter blessings to you and yours, Liz!
How satisfying it must have been to bring programming to the prisoners on Easter.
The rubbish some people spout is unbelievable, but Pope Francis would make a gracious reply.
Happy Easter, Liz and thank you for always walking the walk.
Blessings to you and your family this Easter, Liz.
We hardly notice Easter. Of course, Dani’s birthday was a focus.
Every Blessing Liz.
How wonderful that so many men chose Easter Sunday to be baptized.
As for the comment about the pope, people are just off their rockers these days.
