Today is the feast of St Carlo Acutis.


In today's homily, Fr Francis touched upon the enmity between the Jews and the Samaritans. He also spoke of the two kingdoms. So I did a little research when I returned home. The article that interested me was one called The Unlikeliest Ally. It was about the parable of the Good Samaritan.

When I went at 11.30 to check the water valve, it had already used 4 units so I left it on till 12.30. 9 units used. Meter reading was 31529.

  This blog has been in utero for so long, I cannot believe that I am  finally doing it.   Let me explain. When I was a teenager, I used to write down everything I did into my personal diaries. I'd use foolscap books for this. On their pages, I would vent my frustrations and celebrate my achievements. I got to be myself in those vitriolic expressions of my angst.  Years later, a few years into marriage, I destroyed those books.

  9.30 am Went for Mass with Aaron for his birthday. We had to go to Mapusa as Bastora church wa closed. We kept the bike at the car wash area as Aaron still hasn't got his driving licence.  I am going to call Dr Edison now as see if he can help me to get Rio rehomed on a farm. I earnestly hope he will be able to help. God willing. Don't want the poor chap to die because of his chasing bikes.  Put valve on. Took video of meter to show it's working. I wonder if Morgaonkar is putting the valve off after I put it on. Will check after half hour.  Link to video https://youtu.be/TBAdqIdNPlk?si=azifeSgIvBZd0tTC
