On the streets, Friday night, in prison Sunday morning. What a life I lead!
Martine, the prison chaplain, was on fine form this morning. With her blue hair and her rainbow-heart-covered clerical shirt and dog collar, you can't miss her in a crowd. She spoke about mental health and showed the video of Lewis Capaldi's breakdown at Glastonbury in 2023, and then his song, Survive.
She has a very different style from the other chaplain. She goes with the flow, takes questions, and is relaxed, and very loving. I tried to find a photo online of the shirt she was wearing but failed sadly.

We don't do Valentine's Day so yesterday I spent it washing, shopping, cooking, gardening, and jigsaw-ing. I even managed to fit in watching Scotland beat England at rugby. Husband was disappointed but admitted Scotland was the better team on the day. Last week Scotland was beaten by Italy and there were calls for the manager to resign, and so on. It looked as though the team was in the doldrums, then they come out and play their socks off.
So it looks as if Wales will be getting the wooden spoon again this year! This afternoon it's Wales against France. Not sure if I can cope with watching it: it could be a massacre. I will watch of course but I'll definitely be accompanied by a box of Maltesers.

Ages since you showed us a jigsaw puzzle. And yes, you live life in the fast lane.
ReplyDeleteHaven't done one for ages. I know how to live.
DeleteA wonderfully soulful and sensitive song.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard it before, it's very good.
DeleteWe don’t do Valentines much either, but ti’s a good excuse to have little treats or a breakfast out.
ReplyDeleteI did think about a treat but . . .
DeleteThank you for the video
ReplyDeleteWe don't do anything for St Valentine's Day, either - it's so commercialised and geared to make those who 'forget' feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteAs Husband says, "I love you every day, not just when prices of roses are hike up."
DeleteThe prison Chaplain sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI saw a meme that said something like, "If you go out together on Feb. 13th, you're the mistress. If you go out together on Feb 14th, you're the girlfriend. If you both treat it like just another day, you're the wife". Relatable!
Absolutely!
DeleteI was looking at puzzles in the store today. I can't believe how expensive they've gotten. I'll stick to doing them on the computer.
ReplyDeleteCharity shops!
