Alexa On My Mind
I hit end call, kissing the screen as I did so. I hated Connor working away but it was an opportunity we could ill afford to turn down. It hadn’t been a huge upheaval, but loneliness still plagued me in a strange town with only my sister Ellie to call on in my hour of need. In fact, it was only Ellie and her annoyingly successful business that had brought Connor and I to Cleethorpes in the first place. Connor wasn’t keen on my sister’s job offer, not because it wasn’t a good offer, on the contrary it was a very lucrative offer, but because a wise man once told him never to work for family or friends. He knew that trying to juggle that fine line between work and personal life would become increasingly difficult, but for the moment at least it served a purpose and made a small but not insignificant dent in our growing mountain of debt.

Timket - Feast of Epiphany
Being an atheist, religious establishments are not what you might call my natural habitat. That is not to say I do not visit churches and cathedrals, as I find them aesthetically pleasing. In fact, I would go as far as to say that in some cases architecturally stunning and awe inspiring, though the opulence and grandeur associated with places of worship often strikes me as somewhat disingenuous and at odds with the church's doctrines, particularly those that pertain to the poor. However, that is one for the churchgoers to ponder and resolve.
