Strange Friday!

Ok. This day has approached much faster than I thought. I am now out of fresh food. And I’m not expecting any deliveries. I do of course have dried food, pasta, rice, jars of tomatoes etc...but no cheese or fish or meat...This isn’t the end of the world for me....but my years as a vegetarian was helped by various special foods that were available but that I no longer have in store. I can defrost some things but I must take this carefully....my freezer is very small.....so I am at a different stage in this interesting period. No deliveries are possible right now..so I am going to have some interesting meals. The only good news on this front is the amount of alcohol hidden in cupboards or tucked away in unlikely places...the really good twist to this story is that it is of course Good Friday. A day I have always kept holy and never eaten meat on. So be it Lord...I get the message..I’ll try harder in future. I am a long way from starvation...I will start today by taking stock of what dried food will get me over the weekend. It is beautiful weather here just now...people still walking the coastal path past my house...I might startle them by singing the odd hymn this morning...keeping Good Friday holy is an important ingredient to having a day of joy on Sunday...and that’s what I’m aiming at...once I’ve added water to some pasta! Later. On going out I found my gardener preparing to cut the grass. He tells me a shop in the village is open but with longish queues outside. So here I stay. I wont go hungry I’ve checked the freezer and somehow all this seems appropriate on the day they killed our Lord.
