The Spirit Is Willing

The energy reserves have been more noted by their absence today but, it is a relief to know that there is in all probability something there! I have nothing much to report on earlier phases of the day, as I can't recall any event apart from feeding the fish and snatching a lunch of fruit and wholemeal bread.

In the early evening we ventured down to the local 'Brewer's Fayre' for a bite to eat, in my case Smothered Chicken (i.e chicken topped with bacon and cheese) with a Tikka Masala sauce, chips, peas and carrots, followed by a Trio dessert .. strawberry cheesecake, chocolate tort and chocolate fudge cake served with ice cream. All nice and unpretentious but, very satisfying.

Later in the evening I settled down to watch, listen and, record to DVD, Tippett's 'A Child Of Our Time' .. a potently poignant work which on this occasion, the opening night of the BBC Proms, almost overwhelmed me. In the light of recent events it gained an added poignancy and pertinence. In the end though, the work still stands as a mighty tribute to the human spirit!
