Sunday! A roast?
It is another lovely day...but I am not going anywhere! This is my choice...I have considered driving to the chapel in the next village...but decided to stay at home to pray. Somehow the need to join a congregation has gone. I can pray on my own. And I do. It doesnt have to be Sunday! I have not even joined in to the service on the radio this morning. I am just content to stroll and pray. Its very quiet just now...no sounds at all. Have the visitors gone home? The strangeness of this time is becoming almost normal now. I have checked my fridge...I can still do a roast dinner if I want to. But I am not sure that I do! I should be getting used to it all being different by this time but somehow I want Sundays still to be special. A Sunday roast will help I suppose after singing a few hymns on my own.I actually dont mind being on my own now...Ive got used to it. It is starting to feel normal. But I do want to keep Sundays special if I can. Apart from singing the odd hymn I can do a roast dinner and open a bottle of wine. I will try to make it last over a couple of days! I really dont want to end up a drunk! ....though it does have its merits at times.
More sounds of cars are reaching me now...so the visitors are up and moving...in my house it all feels normal now...so I am getting used to it. So I had better get the meat out of the fridge...it helps to keep everything normal even when its not! So be it!

Good afternoon Jean. I really commend you for cooking a Sunday roast! I never do it just for me, and it is so hot here I really wouldn’t fancy putting the oven on!
Hope it tasted good! 😋
I have to admit that I didn’t cook a roast...I decided to save it ....I know it’s not as hot here as it is there...remember I once lived in Essex.. I’ll get round to the roast eventually!
In this heat it's difficult to cook anything in an oven. We have to keep the backdoor open as well as using a fan to keep it a bit cooler.
But I baked fish and made chips and mushed some peas to give us a belated Fish on Friday effect.
I am glad you are well and making decisions that suit you and your place. I was in Church yesterday and preached on the Gospel reading where Jesus, takes the disciples away for rest and gets caught up with people following him.
The good shepherd came into the equation.
Not sure I am a good shepherd in that mould, more a rounder up, like the cowboys with the cattle in Western Films, but that seems to work as well.
