Today is the 6th January, 3 Kings day in several countries. But who is to say if the Magi were Kings? They were astronomers. Perhaps they were not even only men, and nowhere in the bible does it say that there were 3 of them The Israelites had a tradition of personifying wisdom as a…
I have been in my new job for 4 months now. Today I got a call from my old job. The lady who had taken over from me had not been able to cope with the challenge. She was being replaced by a new person, and had gone off sick in protest. Today she handed…
My regular reader might remember the post about sex for sanitary products. Today I found a charity empowering women through the supply of reusable sanitary products. Good for them and good for the environment. They still need to raise some more money, so if you would like to support them, follow this link. https://gofund.me/eb4eacb5
We have been planning to renovate our shower-room for more months than I care to remember. Today the work finally started. The tilers arrived at 8am and immediately set up a tent contraption at the doorway to the shower room, complete with a hole to fit a tube that is designed to take all the…
Our online service recently was thrown a bit into disarray due to the fact that our webmaster, who puts the final touches to it each week, was taken into hospital on Friday, with an apparent stroke. He is on the mend now, thankfully, but his sudden disappearance caused a lot of issues, not least that…
I came across the above quote on Linkedin this morning. I like it. When I went to check it out on the Tony Robbins site, it was about attracting the energy of the universe, positive thoughts attracting positive results, and negative thoughts attracting more negativity. I get it, but that is not what I thought…
Today was the day I chose to walk to the office again, or maybe it is better to say that I skated to work. It was like an ice rink out there, and trainers were not the best choice by a long way. But with the strategic use of patches of grass I made it…
I took this picture when I was out on our walk this afternoon. There are patches of ice in the water. It is a cold crisp day again, perfect for a walk, and then relaxing on the sofa. Kitty has not ventured out at all of course. This morning I listened to our online service,…
It was -6 degrees C this morning when I went out, which is indeed pretty chilly. I had a 9am appointment at the hairdressers, the only one i could get. I think people are getting worried that they will close the hairdressers again. It was about that temperature yesterday morning as well, when I decided…
Should we be surprised by what is happening right now on Capitol Hill? A group of Trump supporters have forced their way into the Congress building, and are fighting with the police. These people really believe that Trump won the election. They believe all that he has been telling them. It is shocking, it is…
Kitty is slowly getting old, like the rest of us. She has white hairs appearing in all that brown and black. Her nose has turned pink, because she had rather a bad cold, not covid though thankfully. She managed to lick all the black off her nose when she had the cold. I suspect that…
Today was the official start back after the New Year break. Everyone was in a good mood, wishing each other Happy New Year, and getting back in to the groove. For me this return was so nice, because it was relaxed. I have not been able to have a relaxed start to the year, or…
A friend lent me this book. She liked it, it made her cry. I can see why, as she is quite emotionally vulnerable. It is a nice book, with lovely drawings that are then set together with some bites of wisdom. It is a story of a Boy and a mole, who likes cake, and…
Today is the Sunday of Epiphany, and the sermon today was about the wonder that the 3 Magi would even go looking for the baby Jesus, born King of the Jews, when they themselves were gentiles. Today nearly all Christians are gentiles, as in non-Jews, searching for Christ. It is a wonder that we still…
Today was overcast and grey, but at least the snow has stopped. I went for a walk and found a box of plates and mugs on the pavement, with gratis written on it. I think it had been there a while as the box had snow in it, and was rather wet. But I messaged…
