Lockdown 2:11

The Sabbath!! In Abrahamic religions, the Sabbath (/ˈsæbəθ/; Hebrew: שַׁבָּת‎) is a day set aside for rest and worship. According to the Book of Exodus, the Sabbath is a day of rest on the seventh day, commanded by God to be kept as a holy day of rest, as God rested from creation.

Today I will be mostly resting. I have presumably one way or another spent the last 6 days creating and thus a good rest is called for. My 4xgreat grandfather the reverend Daniel Davies was excommunicated from the Baptist Church in Llandysul because he allowed a worker to do some farm work on a Sunday. A few years later he was reinstated. Apaz the worker did it without old Dan knowing. Musta caused a lot of consternation at the time. Not much open on a Sunday in those days either so you can understand why someone might have wanted to get out of the house and do a bit of tidying up on the top field. Or similar.

It is light out but I hear rain on the conservatory roof.

Today I am anticipating making the Christmas pudding. I say anticipating. I’ve never made a  Christmas pudding before. I have the ingredients afaik although every recipe seems to be a different variant. Will be foine.

Having walked to the shed I find that it is really chucking it down. Unusually for me I’m watching the F1 race from Turkey. I was in Istanbul maybe 7 years ago. One day must revisit outside the corporate cocoon that was the HP CIO panel meeting at the Sheraton.

Picked the last few apples from the tree behind the shed. Could have harvested a lot more when we did all the trees but there are so many at the peak it’s quite a bit of work. It’s fined up whilst I’ve been watching the F1 hence the apple picking. Also did a customer proposal whilst the F1 was on. Wot?! On the Sabbath…
