The other day I received a letter in the mail that wasn't a bill. In fact it was handwritten. I can't remember the last time I received a handwritten letter apart from notes in a Christmas card. Was someone feeling sorry for me being in lockdown but everyone is in the same boat so unlikely. I opened it, intrigued. It was written in perfect English and it became clear after the first sentence that it was from the Jehovah's Witness who had telephoned a couple of weeks ago to ask if I was depressed because of the lockdown. She had spoken in French and had said that she didn't speak English. Interesting. I had assured her that I was not depressed. The letter suggested that she come to my house and discuss the bible over a cup of tea! I can't think of anything worse. I tore the stamp off the envelope for my granddaughter and dropped the letter in the recycling bin. From now on I will assume that any stranger knocking on my door is a Jehovah's witness.
Still on the subject of religion, Trump has stooped to a new low. Having given orders to fire tear gas and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters, outside the White House, who were sitting on the ground, he then took a photo opportunity to march across the empty road, followed by his sycophants, and hold a bible up in front of an old church. As the bishop pointed out later (she was outraged by his actions) he didn't even go in. If he had, with a bit of luck, he would have been struck by lightning.
