Lockdown day #40

Today was lovely and sunny.  I should have been in Bury as my dance group was booked to perform at Bury Pride - but that has been cancelled.  There was a 'Bury Pride in the Home' consisting of pop music on a local radio station, but that is a poor alternative.  I am grateful for one blessing due to the cancellation - I didn't have to wear my kilt on such a hot day!

Instead, I downloaded more reading material.  Today this consisted of:

* The Australasian Journal of Salvation Army History, Vol 4, Issue 2

* Nordfrim Great Offers 2020

* New Zealand War Cry 18 April 2020

I also received in the post the Royal Mail Postmark Bulletin Vol 49, No 5 - May Postmarks  

 

What an eclectic group of publications to read!

I watched a video on how to make Bara Brith - now all I need is to find Self-Raising Flour in the shops, and buy dry fruit, and buy some tea .... maybe it is not such a good idea to try and make it.  Bara Brith was originally a traditional Welsh standby thing to cook, because all the ingredients would be readily available to most housewives.  Having to put in most of the ingredients doesn't make it a cheap standby meal.

My exercise today was a trip to the shops (specifically B&M Bargains and Asda) and I managed to buy a box of Jaffa Cakes .. well a big box of Jaffa Cakes (100 in the box) - not that I am panic buying or anything ....

I finished the evening by watching the film "Out in the Dark" - a film about love across the Palestinian/Israeli divide.  Edge of the Seat stuff!
