There Will Be Blood
At Easter I went to the Philippines for the crucifixions. It was a bloody affair. Never before have I been spattered with so much of other people's blood. Never before have I got onto a bus looking like I've just murdered somebody and no-one's batted an eyelid. Actually that really hasn't happened before - I've never murdered anyone, neither have I ridden a bus after murdering or not murdering them. Because I haven't. I'm going to be quiet now. I feel like I'm implicating myself in a non-existent crime.
Anyway, what I mean to say is: this is what I looked like when I rode that bus and, eventually, I'll be posting photos from the festival. If you're squeamish, start looking away, very slowly, now.

The Unholy Trinity
Last month I set myself the Easter challenge of eating some things I'd really rather not eat. I don't really have that much to say about them, as their memory still drops me into a gentle, thoughtful silence. I won't be eating any of these things again.
The brain of a pig. It has a light taste, and a disappearing texture. Kind of how you'd expect the idea engine of an animal to feel in your mouth. I managed about half of the left hemisphere. Thank-you to my friend Anne-Marie for introducing me to this meal.
