another sunday almost over, next week being Easter**

I know that they say as you get older, the time seems to go faster, but how do you explain that already it is almost Easter this year, and I have barely blinked my eyes open!!

 Of course being ill with a coughing virus the first 6 weeks, that then cleared up and  I went to Australia for a great two weeks to celebrate my eldest child's birthday... 50 years old, and not showing it... we had a large beach party with a barbeque and loads of his friends turned up and I was there with my first husband and Dan's siblings all excepting Gaby in canada...

but what a holiday we had, the best ever, and then back to grey old England, where I promptly caught the same virus that John still had...

 Now after another four weeks I am clear of it, but John is still struggling along!! and so we are almost at Easter.

Easter is such a special part of the Christian year , and the preceding Sunday,[which is today, ]is Palm Sunday.. A holy day and special, but in Egypt, the Coptic Church was violated by more suicide bombers and two churches were blown up and many people killed.

These actions come after other horrific events in the last weeks,, like the mowing down of pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London and the same action by another idiot who mowed down others in the centre of Sweden..

What a horrible world this is, at the moment,with so much hurt and hate all round.

Plus, we have Donald Trump bombing the Syrians who set off poison to kill their own citizens who disagreed with the government and the man leading the country..

 and all the time the sun shone, showing us how futile all this hatred and wars are.
