Nobody is above the law

Thank heavens, a dry but cold day. Not enough sleep, but I woke up feeling fresh and clear. News of the arrest of ex-prince Andrew on suspicion of 'misconduct in public office' came in at breakfast time. Fallout from his dealings with financier Epstein when he was a UK trade envoy. This follows the recent disgrace of ex-Lord Peter Mandelson following revelations about his dodgy business relations with Epstein. King Charles has made it unequivocally clear that nobody is above the law, not even his own brother.

Trump has launched his self appointed Gaza reconstruction 'Board of Peace' with notable leaders absent from the table, including Britain the EU, France, Germany, Norway and Sweden. Pope Leo was significantly outspoken, stating that reconstruction should be managed by the United Nations, which has been excluded by the Netanyahu government from humanitarian involvement in Palestine. 

After taking the meds, my head clouded over, The usual toxic mist. I had a decent amount of energy to walk for nearly two hours around Llandaff and Pontcanna Fields before lunch. I took a few photos of the glorious array of daffodils in roadside grass verges, but the exercise didn't clear my head. I felt sleepy enough after eating to doze in my arm chair for nearly an hour. 

I went out again to Tesco's to buy plant milk and oils for cooking. I recorded the Caribbean Lord's Prayer and sent it to Lucinda. When she got in touch at Christmas, she fondly remembered learning and singing it, at Communion services in Gingins and in the Confirmation class I held for teenagers nearly thirty years ago.
