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!
