I intermittently contemplate giving up the blog. I struggle to express myself because I can't think of a reason why anyone would listen to me. It all feels a little pointless and self indulgent in the face of wars, global climate change and the terrifying rise and normalisation right wing ideology. I am horrified by the state of the world, so much death and destruction in Gaza, and governments acting in the last few days as if they only just noticed it was happening. I write to my MP and donate money but the bigger it is the more insignificant your efforts feel. What else is there to do.
But I am an unremitting optimist ... and so I stop and think it over.
The basil is growing well this summer. I may have another go at making pesto ...
Stay safe. Be kind. Don't be a fascist.
