I saw the moon last night after midnight. Why was I wide awake at that time? I am sick, with a viral infection – I vomited. The moon will be full tonight, after midnight. It’s called a “Pink Moon”. (I don’t know why!) This photo was taken last year. Today is Good Friday (Friday of the Cross), a very holy day. Traditionally hot cross buns are eaten today, but I have no appetite. They are spicy and have currants or sultanas in them. A cross shows the cross of Jesus, the spice is for the spices put on his body and, perhaps, the currants represent the nails on the cross. A decree of Queen Elizabeth I said that they could only be eaten at Christmas, Easter and funerals. They were too Catholic for a Protestant queen. There is an old children’s rhyme. Who will translate it?
