Singing, Compassion and Paul’s Peace Walk
Singing was particularly good today, uplifting on a grey day and afterwards just twelve singers in a brief rehearsal for a Humanist Wedding I am conducting on Monday.

Dalai Lama, New Gadget and Pancake Day

2 Another new gadget I bought the other day is this ergonomically wonderful lemon squeezer. I used it today and it is brilliant. For those who asked if the new Garlic Rocker was as efficient as it is beautiful… It is! It is so easy to use and very easy to clean – a winner in every way!

3 It’s Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday, and, in the family tradition started dinner with Savoury Pancakes (stuffed today with chicken and peas in a Béchamel sauce) followed by Crêpes Suzettes – yummy! I can post the recipes if anyone would like me to.
