Bombs And Bread – 23rd December 2024

Can you name even one of the dead?
Whilst dropping both bombs and bread
You defend these actions instead
And defiantly nodding your head

But killing kids is not self-defence
Spreading peace through violence
This is no place for indifference
This is no time for your silence

Since when has questioning charred corpses
Been more offensive than actual charred corpses?

Today I’m feeling:

Tired and dizzy, especially after exercise. I didn’t sleep well last night and woke up tired. At school now and feel a little out of it.

Amy woke up coughing and saying she is sick, so perhaps I have something coming on, too.

I felt a bit more with it by the afternoon but also with a blocked nose. I’m looking forward to getting home.

Health:

Physical: 7
Mental: 7

Today I’m grateful for:

Amy’s idea of getting mala for dinner in an effort to blow away any potential lurgy. Not sure if it will work but it was deliciously hot and spicy anyway.

The best thing about today was:

There’s a good feeling around school as next week is a holiday. Students are happy and playful and don’t seem to mind doing some work too.

What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?

Watching George turn up an hour late to his class today. Most of his students had already disappeared by then anyway.

It is annoying to watch but I’m trying to put it out of my mind.
