Non-timed (good) run, coffee and hot breakfast, cleaned up and went to Morning Prayer (St Helen’s Wharf barricaded because of a gas leak; that’ll be unwelcome for the 10:30 service), splendid meeting with an adult baptisand, then helped Margaret restore her data to her new phone, wandered to R&R because I left my folio there. Now to mark an essay or two, edit my Ash Wednesday homily, and come home to relax.
‘When the revolution happened I realised how much everybody hated me and I started to wonder why. Then I thought, would you rather have a country governed by the principles of liberty, equality, fraternity and social justice or one governed by an amoral, self-serving, tax-avoiding, privately educated elite?’
