I Blinked And Almost Missed Today...

Between making sure DD3 gets all her medication on time and stays well-hydrated, cooking food for everyone, cleaning the house, washing dishes, fielding three phone calls from an incapacitated elderly family member, buying food and delivering it to the same person and dropping off a full weekly shop to our dear elderly friend John, today has simply flown by :-)

It is of course also the anniversary of the outbreak of The Great War of 1914-18.  In many homes, churches, cathedrals and museums across Britain, there will be a candle-lit vigil from 10 pm tonight to 11 pm to mark the solemn and sad occasion. Westminster Abbey is broadcasting a live service and has also published the text of the service to their web pages -  it can be found here.  I shall be watching the service and also lighting our lampada in memory of those who lost their lives in that conflict and for those caught up in conflict  at this present time.
