Nothing To Say

Thanks to everyone for so many comments yesterday....the good, the bad and the ugly. I just ignore the snarky and didn't bother to delete any - giving everyone their say.

Today I'm short of ideas for blog posts...............not a lot happening except sorting stuff, packing boxes then moving empty shelves and cupboards to clean behind them.

I'll be back when I've something to say or Saturday, whichever comes first!

Who Are These People?

I bought the local East Anglian Daily Times newspaper on Saturday. One of it's main headlines was..........

I can understand reporting gatherings of people but how do the neighbours know who is "leaving their home for reasons not among the exceptions".

Who sits at their window watching their neighbours going in and out? and wondering where they are going.

 more from inside the paper................

On the other hand why are they only fining people if the gathering is more than 15 people? How many bubbles have 15 people in them?

How many people are actually paying these fines, and if they do where's the money going?

 So many questions. 

Thankfully despite the illegal gatherings Covid cases per 100,000 are falling in all parts of Suffolk.......

The population of Suffolk is around 760,000.

I'm trying hard to keep hopeful.........it would be easy to despair.

Thanks to everyone for comments yesterday and it was fine and sunny here and in many other places for St Paul's Day, another reason to be cheerful?

St Paul's Day....... January 25th

 There are some weather  sayings connected to today January 25th, which is St. Paul's Day.

If St.Pauls Day be fair and clear,

It doth betide a happy year;

But if by chance it then should rain,

It will make dear all kinds of grain;

And if the clouds make dark the sky,

Then neate* and fowls this year shall die;

If blustering winds do blow aloft,

Then wars shall trouble the realm full oft.

* Neate is an old word for cattle

 

According to my Book of Saints January 25th actually commemorates The Conversion of St Paul. A man who hated and persecuted Christians he was on his way to Damascus  to seize the Christians there and bring them to Jerusalem for punishment when the famous conversion took place.

 

 

 

 Changing his name from Saul to Paul after his conversion his writings and letters had a great influence on other people at the time and much later.

The illustrations on the page in the book are from a painting by Carravagio and from a stained glass window in Lincoln Cathedral.
