Another tea cloth, tied differently, this time for a trip to the village Tesco. But still it kept wanting to move out of position. I went without glasses to make it simpler. Crossing roads was tricky, because I had to move my whole body to look round, so as not to disturb the delicate positioning of the tea towel. I believe there are websites that may help me.
The generous sun is flooding through the window here. I wouldn’t fancy being confined indoors in a place where you never see the sun, especially not where it’s a long and peopled journey to the ground. I suspect that this pandemic, like everything else, is disproportionately bad for people in poverty.
God give help, we pray,
to everyone who is feeling the strain
of long spells indoors,
especially those a long way from
hills, or rivers, or anything green,
children getting increasingly bored
and those who care for them,
people feeling rising frustration in their lives,
people living in fear of domestic violence.
God, we pray for an end to the pain.
We pray for those who have no indoors,
no home but the streets,
living in discomfort, danger and fear.
Take away the fear, we pray,
and the causes of fear.
Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
