Happy Easter



I hope everyone had lots of Easter eggs and have pigged themselves silly. I had 2. Some way off my record of 18 but I can't see that record being broken unless I start buying them for myself.

Pope John Paul attended Easter Mass but didn't look in the best of health. Given that he has had surgery on his thraot, I can't understand why people were hoping he would utter a few words. He did try but it was clear he was in pain. His Urbi et Orbi was read out by by Cardinal Angelo Sodano. It followed the standrad theme of "too much killing, not enough loving"

Dr Williams on the other hand went for a more topical speech on mans obsesion with self and mortality. A bit heavy for a sluggish Sunday but true to the Christian belief that the soul is eternal and that our lives should not be governed by materialistic wants and needs. The resurrection isn't a happy ending to a sad story. It is the beginning of a new story.

On to other stuff. I forgot that the clocks went forward, which is a bit of a pisser because I was due to start Karate lessons today. I thought I had slipped out of my pit at 9.20 so I idled about the house. It was only when I clocked the computer clock telling me that it was 10.40 that the penny dropped.
