Flower Friday: Roses

In the Arab world, Mother's Day is always marked on 21st March, so it was brilliant to walk into this Spinneys branch and be greeted with this display. Everywhere we go is so empty, it is too sad for words.

So, today was the first Friday that we got to be part of our Church service thanks to streaming on YouTube. One of our OaSis friends joined us as her only other option would be to follow it on her mobile. It felt strange to sing along with the small worship team. They did two songs and then we listened to the sermon. It was all over in forty minutes, which was perfect.

We ventured out for a bit of shopping later. Wafi and Mercato Malls, it was nice to get out and sad to see places so empty. The beaches have been closed off too, though there were folk walking along the jogging track in the coolness of the evening.
