Today is Covid Day of Reflection in UK.A day to think about all those we lost & those still impacted by the pandemic.I’m thinking about my lovely grandad today & I’m also taking a moment to reflect on how getting Covid 19 was the catalyst for my chronic illness & the start of life with a disability.
Neither of them deserve that prize. Both of them have cheapened the whole concept of peace. How sad to take a concept so precious in this world and make it mean nothing.

Christian Nationalism is so ugly and leads to places other than the care of the marginalised and the protection of the weak which so characterises who Jesus is. To challenge this warped version of Christianity is vital www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...
Hubby did this to cheer me up. Love it! #strangerthings
"The tricky thing about chronic Illnesses are how individualistic they are. Even people suffering from the same illness can present vastly different symptoms… triggers vary… so do coping strategies.” https://buff.ly/2WuDKQF @achronicvoice.com #chronicillness #chronicpain

It’s International Day of People with Disabilities. Some disabilities are invisible. Some are dynamic and change from day to day or even within a day.
I’m glad it was helpful. Sending good wishes back to you and your partner. It’s very hard for friends and family to really understand it, especially if you look fine physically.
This explains a lot of my daily challenges in clear terms substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Wow! An impressive art installation to mark the 85th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz. It’s made from cardboard.
85 years ago today. The Coventry Blitz. A terrifying night of loss and destruction. And what followed, a legacy of peace and reconciliation. It really is extraordinary. I am proud to be from this city.
And this too 👇🏼 #RemembranceSunday
Every year I type ‘lest we forget’ but this year I think it might be better to say ‘may we again remember’.

So, RE is on its way into the National Curriculum. I think we are all thinking of Dawn Cox today. schoolsweek.co.uk/curriculum-r...
Happy All Saints Day!
God of the generations,
when we set our hands to labor,
thinking we work alone,
remind us that we carry
on our lips
the words of prophets,
in our veins
the blood of martyrs,
in our eyes
the mystics’ visions,
in our hands
the strength of thousands.
Coming next month to The Herbert, Coventry www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
It’s Invisible Disabilities Week. Not every disability is visible or obvious. Be curious, be kind, be helpful 🌻
