Today is the 50th Anniversary of the creation of Earth Day - designed to focus attention on protecting the Earth's resources. Sometimes I feel we forget that we don't own the planet, we are just the current custodians of it. There are signs, however, that this COVID-19 outbreak is starting to make the planet healthier - many cities which had a smog problem, now have more people in lockdown, less cars on the roads, and the air is better to breath. I do hope when the time comes to come out of lockdown, that we live in harmony more with our planet, rather than trying to extract what we can from it for a quick 'buck'.
I stayed in much of the day, only going out briefly to get some essential supplies from Asda. I managed to get some eggs, and there are signs that the supermarket shelves are less empty than they were before the lockdown started. Perhaps the message that panic buying doesn't help anyone is getting through?
I read an e-book about coaches - Twelve Royal Tigers - described as the complete story of the coachbuilders Beccols & Bellhouse Hartwell and how Blue Cars became an important part of the tale. It was very interesting.
I also read the first chapter of a book for a Study Group to be held on Thursday mornings. Decision Making and Spiritual Discernment
The only other thing I have done today is look back over Christmasses past - perhaps one day I will write my autobiography. Watch this space ....
